Did the phrase "it is my understanding" not make it clear to you that it was something I was not sure of? Quite different from something of more definitive type statement.
And no the examples of pilots getting caught that I know of and are public knowledge lately they were caught (suspected) long before the machine which only verified the suspicion. Define caught.

So whether or not the FFD box gets checked really doesn't mean anything as there is no longer an ability to self assess.
I'm not disputing that whatsoever nor did I infer that. I did emphasize it will probably be something that the lawyers will bring up. Nothing more nothing less.
