with a proper stats harness the false positive rate can be brought well down to acceptable levels

Oh don't worry, after claude democratises astronomy the false positives will be cleaned up by the real astronomers. As seen in math and open-source development.
This will be the first time I've had anything in common with a mathematician btw -- wading through heaps of claudeism-infested slop all day long.
