    the first one listed here, about the sensitivities seems perfectly fine as it is. No "errored" here at all IMHO.

    1. If you get too many times that it triggers "here is movement", then make it less sensitive to what counts as movement.
    2. If you get too many times that it says "here is a humanoid", then make it more sensitive about what it declares is 'kinda human shape'.

    How do you write code to generate a year of -4712?

    I'm sure it's in some way related to the most WTF date format in the world: MM/DD/YYYY.

    I agree with you, the first one does not seem to be a WTF because they are sensitivities for two different aspects of motion detection:

    The first is for the sensitivity of motion detection, and the way I read it is:

    If there are too many bogus motion detection events, reduce the sensitivity - for example, if a squirrel or shrew triggers the motion detector.

    The second is for the sensitivity threshold for the detection of human-like shapes, and the way I read it is:

    If a deer triggers the "humanoid motion" event, increase the sensitivity of detecting human-like shapes. If a normal human burglar fails to trigger the "humanoid motion" event, you likely have it set to the "The Hulk" sensitivity, so reduce it so it'll detect regular humans.

    Ergo, no WTF here.

    Maybe not the problem with "sensitivity" settings per se, but definitely a UX/usability problem. At least two programmers commented here that think everything is as it should be instead of talking about how that interface is confusing (it indeed is).

    Maybe they should use "specificity" for the Humanoid Detection setting (ref: "sensitivity and specificity" as used in the medical field). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_and_specificity

    Exactly. The error is not in the sliders. The error is in using the term "sensitivity" inappropriately. And especially using it i opposite sense nearby each other.
