Is this really "invasive melanoma"? https://drmagnuslynch.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/isic-images...

Could definitely be a misclassification, however a small proportion of moles that look entirely harmless to the naked eye and under the dermatoscope (skin microscope) can be cancerous.
For example, have a look at these images of naevoid melanoma: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=naevoid+melanoma
This is why dermatology can be challenging and why AI-based image classification is difficult from a liability/risk perspective
I was previously clinical lead for a melanoma multidisciplinary meeting and 1-2 times per year I would see a patient with a melanoma that presented like this and looking back at previous photos there was no features that would have worried me.
The key thing that I emphasise to patients is that even if a mole looks harmless it is important to monitor for any signs of change since a skin cancer will almost always change in appearance over a period of several months
