Actually, the better you get at blocking spam, the more dangerous
this gets. Because you are less likely to check the box, and more
likely to miss a critical message. Especially when you're getting
3-400 spam messages a day and your false positive rate is well under
1%.
And then the issue becomes. How long is it going to be before you
notice that your bank's automatic notice of an overdrawn account sits
in your challenge-response folder before you see it.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
