no idea what you are talking about by saying

I'm talking about the bundled docs. The man / perldoc pages of 
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Bayes / Mail::SpamAssassin::*Bayes* and the default 
config files. That's where I expected this info to be. It's something simple 
and basic, i.e. something that the writer of the software can foresee the need 
for documentation, so it makes sense that it's in the same files that the 
programmers wrote. That's where I start looking. That's where qpsmtpd, which 
I'm configuring around the same time, has its basic docs.

Ch.

In the man page for the spamassasin config file there is a paragraph:

       bayes_min_ham_num             (Default: 200)
       bayes_min_spam_num       (Default: 200)
           To be accurate, the Bayes system does not activate until a
           certain number of ham (non-spam) and spam have been learned.
           The default is 200 of each ham and spam, but you can tune
           these up or down with these two settings.

You might argue about the clarity, but the info is there.
