I don't think that's generally true. I'm currently using:

    robx=0.400000
    min_dev=0.020
    robs=0.0100
    spam_cutoff=0.282       
    ham_cutoff=0.043        

...and getting 1% false negative, 0.1% false positive. A narrow range of
eqivocal tokens (0.48-0.52) are not checked when scoring, and
previosuly unseen tokens are scored 0.4, which is still spammish using
my cutoffs.
