Okay, and when a cursory look at the bomb actually reveals it to be a fisher-price toy, what then?
What is the scenario where a grey blob gets on your phone that sets off CSAM alerts, an investigator looks at it and sees only a grey blob, and then still decides to alert the authorities even though it's just a grey blob, and the authorities still decide to arrest you even though it's just a grey blob, and the DA still decides to prosecute you even though it's just a grey blob, and a jury still decides to convict you, even though it's still just a grey blob?
You're the one who's off in theory-land imagining that every person in the entire justice system is just as stupid as this algorithm is.
At the very least, you'd be one of the primary suspects, and if you somehow got a bad lawyer, all bets are off.
