It's not flawed. It's reasonably accurate based on my experience. what should not have happened is that when you change your oil, the brake service indicator should not have been changed.
You should double check your work order for that oil change that you just mentioned. I suspect the brakes were actually changed. The dealers are pretty good about resetting the indicator when it should be reset and when the service was performed. They will not reset it just for any other reason.
