It would follow that abuse cases would needed to be air-tight.  If you’ve ever been in one of those trials, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

The other scenario might be if your patient is not extremely likely to return such that you need an answer NOW.  No use having a gold standard test if you never see the person again.
