That's not what the ratio implies. It's basically the ethics behind the concept of requiring a prosecutor prove their charges "beyond a reasonable doubt" even though such a high bar means that more guilty people will be found not guilty.
The goal being to convict as few innocent people as possible, rather than to convict as many guilty people as possible.
