The honest way to say this is that Fable is not useful for bio-related work. The author is working on processing RNA sequences and similar biology tasks, and Fable's classifier has a hair trigger on those tasks.

The author is working on an opensource C++ codebase and not on biology tasks. The work is around tooling.

It's like saying well a scalpel is used for medical reasons, sure. But manufacturing scalpels is metalworking, not medicine.

It is way worse than that. Try "How does digestion work?" and you will see "Fable's safeguards flagged this message". It's a stupid rate of false positives.
