Your standards are far too high. Rules + automatic classification + human
eyes converges on 100%.

In my experience and reasonably expert knowledge of spam fighting,
these are not very good statistics. If they had achieved over 99% then
I would have been impressed, with if they did that with even fewer
false positives then I would have been thoroughly impressed.
And I don't consider it either-or. We should fight spammers of all
kinds with all techniques that work.
