I would phrase that differently: Spam has a significant negative effect
on reliability of email. Spam filtering mitigates some of that, but is
not able to achieve 100% reliability.

I think it's worth considering whether IETF could improve this
situation via some combination of improved protocol and sound,
carefully-reviewed advice for implementors and/or operators.

I'm not optimistic there.
