The authors can probably cite more reasons, but two reasons I can think
of include "smaller and faster." Note that words are often in both the
spam and ham wordlists:

1. The result is smaller since the word (and the timestamp) is only
   mentioned once.

2. The number of lookups are cut in half since you only have to do one
   lookup instead of two for a given word.
