SA has no need for high-precision floating-point math so there is nothing special about 0.001 or 0.0001 or any other small number. The reason for such low scores is to assure that the rule is checked, even if no other rule depends on it. Such rules usually are a component in multiple other meta rules that have more significant scores, but are not significantly spam or ham signs on their own. -- Bill Cole
