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. | ||||||||

Raising a false alarm doesn’t mean the underlying issue isn’t there. It just means the cause of the alarm is unrelated to the issue. | ||||||||
