You get points for finding "cheating". You don't get points for recognizing false positives are false. What sort of outcome do you expect??
There really should have been some kind of SLA clause in the contract that specifies the university gets back X% of their quarterly/yearly payment for each false positive they catch.
Gives the vendor a good reason to avoid false positives, and the university a good reason to look for them.

I hope proctorio gets sued out of business
On a much lower stakes level, I’ve had coworkers adamantly claim that I read an email because they received a read receipt. Even though I didn’t. It was funny trying to explain that I didn’t read anything and that their signal wasn’t trustworthy, even to the point of finding the email in question and showing it still looking unread. But they believe Outlook more than someone’s direct statements. Even to the point of claiming that I purposely changed my client to show the message as unread after reading.
This wasn’t important so it was more curiosity about how people believe things, but it made me wonder what happens for consequential things.
