It has found a number of genuine problems, but also some false positives that are based on literal (string) comparisons rather than common sense. "Children having the same date of birth should be twins" - only if at least the month and year are identical. Eg. af family has two children as of May 1917, but their age is not known. So date-of-birth for both is <05-1917 and should not be reported as twins. "Same sex parents with 1 biological child" - not if the sex of both parents is unknown. E.g. a newspaper obituary says the deceased has one grandson. Since we don't know so far if it's a son's son or daughter's son, both parents have to be set as unknown. "The individual is overlapping with another individual" - not if there are no details at all - eg. we know the person has 3 children, and that's all we know.
