No, the key point here is that the tokens in question have
been found in *every* single ham and *every* single spam, so
we have pgood and pbad both equal to one.

Increasing n will only make the overall result approach .5
(so Tom was wrong that it would ever become a significant
token, it becomes more and more insignificant).
