Agree. Right out of the gate, "When it comes to friendship, this isn’t the first time that authorities have cried wolf." Not a great analogy since ultimately in the fable there did appear a wolf. | |||||||||||||||||

Parable notwithstanding, your comment is a critique of the standard usage of the expression "cried wolf". To cry wolf specifically means to sound a [false] alarm when there isn't a need for it. | |||||||||||||||||
