    In short, the computers aren't 100% efficient with picking out all the interesting off-center vertices, and this is the reason that Higgs Hunters is a Zooniverse project. One of the core requirements of kicking off a Zooniverse project is that the task must not be readily completed with computers and algorithms, and so they must rely on human pattern recognition and interpretation to complete the dataset.
