For example your kid may have an ear infection. We swab the ear; we show that a Rifampin an antibiotic will kill the bug. Issue is these drugs do not do a good job of getting into the ear canal. So yes, the test is "more sensitive" but the drug does not work.
This is the most moronic and nonsensical example I have ever heard. You are a complete idiot if you are comparing a local infection and a genetic mutation specific in a clonal cell. The assay measures the presence of the mutation in the cells and the drug targets this mutation. Learn some basic genetics and biology.
