Yes, absolutely.  Since false positives are rare, by design, if you only 
updated on error without using -u, then you would primarily have spams in 
your database and very few hams.  My emails are classified at least as much 
by hammy tokens as by spammy tokens.  I wouldn't want to miss those.  The 
likely result would be more false positives.
