The idea behind that AFAIR was: if we know for sure what kind of mail it
is, we may have some tokens pretty indicative and some tokens that are
not strong about if it's ham or spam more likely -- but we might want to
register those unsure tokens nonetheless.

I haven't done any research if "just train on unsures and
misclassifications" or "train on every mail" is more effective.
