If autolearn is set to on (which it is by default), SA will eventually
learn enough messages to enable Bayes.

Yeah, it depends how you want to do it.  You can either enable autolearn
or not.  If you do, SA will keep learning from certain messages (based
on score).  If you don't, only sa-learn will cause SA to learn.
