Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for your answer! But I just realized it actually is "force for good" and not false for good.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Tony M: I think the lack of context and clarity in the source text makes such a high confidence level unwise; and do note that this meaning of 'for good' is fairly colloquial, so possible unlikely in this register. NB it's "a false..." = noun not adjective
