Actually it's not wrong. The POD just doesn't match the code, unfortunately. :( (feel like opening a bug?) Yes, the different score set is used to avoid any biasing by the Bayes system for as to whether or not to autolearn, but there's also a check of the Bayes score that was applied (rule score not bayes probability) via https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=2865. In short, if the message seems to strongly be ham or spam, don't autolearn it the other way and let train-on-error happen if it is actually wrong.
