This sounds like the same arguments as whether mammograms should start at 40 or 50 years old. Apparently a lot of the cancers they catch during screenings at 40 would go away on their own, so now they only recommend mammograms before 50 if cancer runs in your family, to avoid unnecessary biopsies and other surgeries.
I've never understood this argument, more information should always be better. The real problem seems to be the knee-jerk biopsy/surgery. If a QA engineer points out a potential bug, it's foolish immediately/blindly delete chunk of code containing the bug. It's just as foolish to say we're randomly deleting too much good code, so let's fire the QA engineers.
That's a lot of wasted time. Time better spent having the QA engineer only look at bugs reported by users and not looking for them on their own.
In the case of the mammogram, it's even less clear cut. The mammogram only shows spots. A biopsy is necessary to determine if it's cancer. A biopsy is surgery and could have complications. And could in fact make the problem worse.
So the idea is that you only do the test if you actually have symptoms or a family history of breast cancer, until the risk level gets high enough that it warrants going to look for cancer without symptoms.
