Truthfully, I was looking for something a bit more conservative that still reflected the possibility of a false-positive here and there ;-)
One of the reasons the scores are below the default spam threshold of 5 is to take into account the possibility of false positives. The Bayesean math lets SpamAssassin score many different features of spam to make the determination. It certainly is possible to score some features higher than 5, which I do myself, but it should probably be evaluated in the context of the local installation.
