**Description of the false positive**

The two functions *are* similar, so I hesitate to call this a true "false positive".

But the differences are substantial enough—variations in which SQLAlchemy table is queried, which columns are used in filters, which object properties are needed, etc.—that trying to write a single function to do both jobs would (arguably) be a bigger code smell than this.

It's also worth noting that there are other pairs of functions (the `set` and `get` companions in each suite for `nick` and `channel`) _not_ marked as similar, even though they're no more or less so than the `delete` functions that were detected. And there's another suite of also-similar `plugin` functions that weren't flagged by the analysis.
