Understanding the flawed audit review system

I came across a post, analyzed its content, and subsequently answered, drawing from my own experience of encountering a similar issue in the past.

In an effort to provide a comprehensive answer rooted in addressing the underlying cause, I searched SU meta's search, attempting to locate an established canonical response that succinctly addresses such inquiries in which I was unsuccessful.

The essence of the matter

The existing review queue audit is flawed and requires updating; fortunately, encountering failures is generally manageable, and proactive strategies exist to identify and address flaws effectively.


I'm seeking a thorough and canonical response that covers these aspects as well as any additional considerations contributors may suggest. This response will serve as a reference for all related inquiries, streamlining discussions about questions like "I answered review questions honestly and failed audit; should X really be Y?" so that we can avoid revisiting the same issues repeatedly.
