There is certainly a bug somewhere. Some people were surpised when they got the
email and they assumed they have checked it by mistake and replied you that in
the email.
I got first this bug on my data and later saw it in people who I know do not
have any problem. I do not know how the bug is triggered, it needs some penta
querying to be triaged and I actually thought you were going to do this before
sending the emails to remove the false positives.
My concern here is this bug might affect another field besides the
"disability" one and we might happen other field more important with wrong
data.
