In this case it is moronic. Logitech sells millions of mice and same goes for Razer. If their software were giving false positives there would be millions of reports on the issue not only here but on the forums of Logitech and Razer as well. Here we have a few people crying because they used scripts and got banned.
Honestly i even know where they got the scripts from, it's not like you need to be Einstein to figure out which sites give out scripts etc.
Next time learn to play the game and do not use scripts and no recoil macros.
Scripting bans are some of the most common reasons people come to official forums to try to clear their name. In a lot of peoples' minds, scripts are "legit" because they don't hook into the game itself, but rather automate mouse movements and key combos for controlling recoil and simplifying techniques (good example before it got nerfed would be the speedfire exploit on the peacekeeper, you could automated that with a script to execute it perfectly every single time...or use a script to do perfect bunny hops endlessly).
news flash guys: scripting is still cheating and it always has been, going back to the pre-Valve days of Counter-Strike, the WON network would still hand out bans for scripts, every gamer should know this is cheating. and yet we've seen actual professional gamers on esports contracts get busted for scripts...was a fairly high profile incident in Rainbow Six Siege last year IIRC in which a well known pro player got busted for having scripts running in the background on his rig...at an actual live event...lol. i know pros do it and try to hide it, so why would average joes on the EA forum be any different?
these guys in this thread are trying to claim with a clean conscience that they didn't "hack", because in THEIR minds, cheating with scripts is not technically hacking so it makes it okay and they should be unbanned. i bet the OP ran a no recoil macro/script of some sort...you can even easily program these yourself on a lot of modern mouse software, which might be why he's trying to claim his mouse software was caught as a false-positive...who knows.
this whole ordeal reminds me of when i played APB: Reloaded years ago, it was right when GamersFirst took over and their first big ban wave caught A LOT of cheaters and suddenly the forum was FILLED TO THE BRIM with people claiming "it detected my mp3 player as a cheat!" and "it must have mistook [insert common instant messenger app or mouse software] as a hack!".
the only time i remember a confirmed, widespread false-positive problem in an anti-cheat software was back in the early days of Punkbuster and they identified the malfunction and unbanned everyone who was affected. the point here is the anti-cheat developers can easily figure out if they have a false positive, ID everyone who was falsely banned and undo the bans. that isn't happening here because the OP and others were caught red-handed and i bet you EA/Respawn/EasyAC have already looked into some of these complaints and determined the bans are indeed justified. an actual false-positive banwave would be a PR nightmare for this game and EA and they'd fix that as soon as possible.
