Obviously, there's a big problem with procedures in your university. The software did it job well finding what it should find, then a human should have looked at what it is, instead of you doing meaningless work of chasing lower match score.

It seems to fit in a larger anti-pattern of educational institutions and administrative ass-covering by using "objective" rules and scores to disguard any judgement even when it is obviously and hillariously wrong.

See Zero Tolerance for another example. I snark that the best antidote to this lack of discretion is to fire the management and replace them with a minimium wage position if they won't exercise any thought.
