It is not paranoia, just silly mistakes. I will give you an example:
You write heuristic (behavioral) code/rule that detects downloaders. How you “teach” your engine to know it should not alarm on google updater, but label as “Ebil downloader” similar programs that are not from google even if they try to disguise as such.
And that is reason for most false positives, something clean is just very similar to some nasty malware, so they added it not even knowing that it will false positive on TDAP files.

Indeed it was meant as a joke with some truth to it (depending on AV Software).
Avast comes to mind warnings about everything and nothing.
Etherway we are better of with them, then with out them.
