You read me in reverse. Spam "capped at 15+" means spam that scores no more than 15 points (since that was rejected or deleted). If a minority of our corpora are limited to lower-scoring spams, the genetic algorithm would be slightly more biased in favor of the borderline cases and FNs. As Darxus points out, if the majority of our corpora pruned out such high-scoring messages, we would risk losing that certainty.
