It seems an obvious conclusion from the preceding sentences in 
the paragraph.  When spam is getting BAYES_00 or BAYES_01, it's 
a strong indication that some spam has been mislearned as ham.  
Usually such mislearning happens because of autolearning, 
though it could also happen by mistakes in manual learning.
