You are correct in this case, it seems like the current antigen tests have a high false negative rate.
"What about accuracy? The reported rate of false negative results is as high as 50%, which is why antigen tests are not favored by the FDA as a single test for active infection. " -Harvard.edu
You'd hope so, but that's not how science and stuff works. The test sees covid; it tells you. (As far I know)

I've read from a few different places over the past few months that the rapid same day tests have a false negative rate of upwards of 50%
Exactly, but if it says you have covid... you have covid. Not saying it can't give false negatives
A false negative means you have it but the test shows that you don't, no?
Edit nevermind I misread
