Curious if this has worked where a valid caller with a valid reason made it through the screen and how you could catch false positives. Sounds like a great idea if it works so that's why I am asking.

I think if they say anything, it rings and shows a transcript of what they said. At least, that's what happened the few times I've received a legitimate call from an unknown number (think calls like a contractor or a doctor's office).
At least so far there don't seem to be any false positives, but it does seem like something that could easily be botted.
