yes you are.   You need both a score of at least 15 (configurable
spam learning value) and a score that is at least 4 points above your
required_hits value (which is 5 by default, so the score would also have
to be > 9).

it seems silly with the defaults, but some people like to set the learning
scores to something in the 1-8 range which is not a very good idea, so
the "protect the foot" move is to require the safety around required_hits.
