Research direction
Start with the face_recognition.compare_faces entry point and reproduce the reported matching behavior using face_recognition 1.2.3 on Python 3.6 and Ubuntu. Trace how the threshold is applied and establish a test case showing the incorrect match; done means the requested threshold behavior is corrected or clearly documented.
