If the goal of DOGE was really to reduce "waste, fraud and abuse", wouldn't a human be checking for false positives? If anything, mistakenly cancelling a grant sounds like waste or abuse.

It wasn't. DOGE was never anything but another grift designed to benefit administration insiders, with maybe - at best - a thin veneer of "reducing waste" to satiate the appetite of the gullible people backing all of this in the first place.
DOGE killed unknown perhaps millions of people around the world needlessly, ended careers, destroyed institutional knowledge and capabilities, and costed the US several billion $, prestige, soft power, and respect that can never be repaired.
