It is also an overstatement. My personal set of filters have a false positive rate of much less than 0.1% or about the normal failure rate of email. They have a false negative rate of less than 1%. Plenty of spam is sent my way, because I've been exposing my current address in public for more than 10 years. > We have to decide what level of spam we can live with, and what > level of false positives we can live with in anti-spam filters.

People whose livelihoods depend on mail cannot, will not, and do not accept false positive rates above 1%. That you can talk about changing the false positive rate by 2% brands you as outside that class. There's certainly nothing wrong with not depending on email for the butter on your bread (or your bread), but beware of assuming that everyone else is the same. Note that people who do depend on email and cannot tolerate 1% false positives are like business flyers. They are the most profitable customers for many ISPs. That means that many ISPs have similar views of false positives. There are other ISPs, but they cater to "home users."
