Thief 2X cutscene misidentified as copyrighted content by Youtube Content ID - by Platinumoxicity

I've been making my Ironman Ghost let's play of the Thief series including T2X, and today I noticed that the random mishmash of ambient noise, distorted speech by Karras and Kedar's screams during the cutscene leading to The Grand Hotel was misidentified by Youtube Content ID as part of a song because of what I assume to be incidental similarities in sound waveform. Anyone know anything about this?
The worst thing is that when disputing a copyright claim, there is no option for "your system doesn't work perfectly and has made a mistake".

Haha, been there before. A few years ago I made a video of Arma 3, and the sound of rain triggered the content ID system. I looked up the song that I'd supposedly been playing and it was some crappy techno. I assumed the rain had triggered the system because it has a lot of variation in frequency.
I disputed under fair use because there was no option for "your system is prone to false positives" and eventually the claim was dropped.

Yeah the whole system is automated and I doubt anyone at Warner Music Group even takes an occasional look at their copyright claims as long as the monetization revenue keeps flowing from every crack past the artists to the record company CEO bonus buckets.
