About 90% of SMTP is spam. SMTP from Tor nodes is so close to 100%

Um, 90% by weight or by volume?
More seriously what's the claim there: number of connections? Bytes?
Messages? Recipients? (A possibility is that all of them are 90%, but
that seems unlikely to me and would be worh pointing out, too.)
Besides which 90% vs 100% doesn't seem very significant to me. Tor
nodes may send more absolute SMTP traffic, of course. In that case it
seems like the volume and not the composition would be the telling marke
