It's probably not as simple as I think it is but if the test is cheap enough couldn't they just run it again on all affected people just in case?

If ran twice we'd have: 49 correctly detected, missing 11 cases and 250 incorrectly suspected.

Ran thrice keeping the 2 most similar results we'd have: Most people correctly identified?

No, bad example. Nokia failed because they were using windows mobile instead of Android.

In 2011 Nokia started using windows phone os which, at the time, no one knew if it was going to catch on. In 2014 Microsoft bought the phone division and kept the OS although at that point it was clear that it was not going to work out. Operation stopped in 2017.
