since people tend to assume paternity tests are infallible

This specific instance is particularly egregious, but...

They shouldn't be doing this regardless. Most medical tests have a false positive rate, and I suspect nearly all paternity tests do as well. When interpreting medical results having a decent understanding of Bayesian statistics is very useful. If you don't, you should be asking your doctor to help you interpret results.
