An interesting plot. Something similar happened with a computer in a Spider-Man comic, and as I recall (it's been a while since I read it) the computer ends up determining that Spider-Man must be Flash, through no tampering but just because computers are in fact not good at that sort of thing. Spider-Man is strong and Flash is strong, Spider-Man shows up in a lot of places that Flash does, etc, and of course no one had actually told the computer about radioactive spiders.
