That is not remotely a complaint. But it is a potential explanation. I simply don't know. I'm not complaining. But it is a fact that it is difficult to get the balance between false positives and letting too many through. I suggested then as I suggest now that repeating spam, as the earlier poster had done, makes the job of the spam filters harder. I run my own spam filter as well. I get very little spam.
