Good question!

The value in bogofilter.cf overrides the value in the wordlist.  In
function score_initialize() in file score.c, if min_dev, or
spam_cutoff, or robs hasn't been set (or has been set to 0), the
default value for that parameter is applied.  Similarly, if robx is
zero or not set, it is retrieved from the wordlist.
