The 22k tests where like screening tests, but for this suspect they were repeated and confirmed many times and using different traces from different parts of the victim's body. Thus, statistical errors in a single test repeated 22k do not count here.

You discount 'this is our man, I can feel it, make those inconclusive tests conclusive so the bad man doesnt get away with rape and murder'. This happens very often.
