It's more like: "We have reason to believe this is spam or otherwise illegitimate. We will silently set it aside and automatically discard it in X days, unless you come looking for something you feel might've been miscategorized and rescue it." That's different from telling the user to figure it out, which I take to mean something more like an ongoing and fairly constant filter training exercise. Of course, this only highlights again that different receivers will treat DMARC's output in whatever way suits them. -MSK
