I think you aren't understanding my point. How can we measure the rate of asymptomatic spread if the methods used to detect covid are unreliable to begin with? If someone is tested positive but doesn't spread sickness, that tells me it was a false positive, and nothing else. Maybe only a fraction of these cases were actual covid, and we get completely different results about asymptomatic spread if we were to only look at those (if we could somehow distinguish them from the false positives).

You are correct with the PCR.
Before that test the anti-body test was used, which was not well calibrated either.
I think it also tested positive for SARS1.

It is all a big mess, just to push political agendas.
