Wild speculation on my part, but my guess is that humans may be 
involved. If some spam makes it through the filter, then if someone 
reads their email, and reports it as spam, then it can be further 
investigated. If it really is spam, then they could be nuked from 
people's mailboxes before they check their email.

I'm not sure how to explain the lack of false positives, other than "how 
would you really know, unless you checked all your spam for real email?"

BTW, I've never used Google mail, so I don't know what the interface is 
like.
