Generally, pregnancy tests are fallible with False Negatives but nearly infallible with False Positives (except those shitty digital ones, but that's another story). Comic Con is completely fallible with False Positives... but when it comes to previewing a fandom-related movie at Comic Con there ain't no such thing as a False Negative--that shit is dead. If the fandom-core likes a $150 million dollar movie, that and 2-bucks will get Zack Snyder on the subway. But if the fandom-core DOESN'T like it, then Snyder's walking home.
