May I suggest another definition for a warning being entirely sucks?
"The warning is entirely sucks if and only if it never has true
positives." In all other cases it's only more or less sucks, IMHO.

You're totally missing the point. False positives are not a minor
annoyance, they're actively harmful as they hide other _useful_
warnings. So, you really want warnings to be about things that can and
should be fixed. So you really should aim for _zero false positives_
even if you risk not detecting some real positives.
