I think that what I mean to say is that a test could convey a false level of security and cause harm in that way.

I think this is very dependent on how your software is written. Back end servers can be written in ways that are very testable. I've mostly seen UI automation tests as the ones that can convey incorrect levels of correctness.

I agree backends can also be written in convoluted ways as well.
