to quote from https://github.com/ornetstats/stats
(1)     "dangerous" in the sense that a tor client might has a chance to
use more than one of these relays in a single circuit
(2)     these relays are aggregated based on contact information
(3)     if their groupsize is bigger than their effective family size
and they are operated in more than one /16 network block they are listed
(4)     this list might contain false-positives (contact information is
not authenticated)

Does that answer your question?

I probably should also filter entries where two out of guard_prob,
middle_prob and exit_prob are 0 since that means that (1) is never the
case - iff onionoo is right about these probabilities.
