Can 48% accuracy or 70% top10 accuracy be used for attribution? How high the accuracies have to be before this model is useful?

Well, consider that if airplanes were 99% safe, nobody would fly. And the way I understand it (not very well), the lab-of-origin discovery is based on design choices rather than inherent factors. This means that it could be copied to create false positives? Hopefully someone more educated on the subject can elaborate.
