I know people who, every time people talk about the rules of social interaction that sexual harassers are violating, get very concerned that they will be misinterpreted or falsely accused just because e.g. they invited a friend they knew well back to their room for tea at a conference. I don't know how much this kind of fear is typical among sincere people who don't trust their own social skills, but it may be part of what drives this argument.

And no, I don't actually know anyone who has ever been falsely accused of sexual harassment. Although I have heard of one case in which it happened, at a school I worked at, a couple years before I started working there. (Related to me as a cautionary tale to be exceptionally scrupulous in my work emails to students.)
