With that logic we would need to test the system on every living person to see where it fails.
The system had been tested ad nauseum in a variety of scenarios (including with twins and every other combination you can think of, and many you can’t). In this particular situation, a real-world test in a large facility with many hundreds of cameras everywhere, there happened to be twins.
It’s a strong data point regardless of your opinion. If it was the only one then you’d have a point. But like I said, it was an anecdotal example.
