I understand that. But you confuse "the number of false negatives for myself"
vs "the number of false negatives universally". The overall number of users who
may use cases that you describe is way less than the number of users who do
*not* intentionally use such things, but may create such combinations
accidentally (e.g., fast typers who switch keyboard layout too fast, and start
a word starting from letter "c" - which curiously in English layout co-incides
with Russian "с" having exactly the same shape, and thus indistinguishable in
shape; or even more combinations in Roman languages).

So if 10 million users do such mistakes once every 10 years, and you and other
10 users experience your describer problem 10 times a day, the failure rate
would be 2740:100. I took very low rate of failures for 10 million users, and
very high rate for problem that you describe; but the user number at both sides
are arbitrary, since I don't have numbers at hand (but I do know how often such
typos happen e.g. for myself - being Russian - and for my colleagues at
previous job - that's definitely not once 10 years).
