Right! But the idea of spambayes is to make a binary classification 
between spam and ham. We have discovered that there is a middle ground 
which can be explored. But why would the "ham" behave in a Gaussian way 
under such a model? Ham is one of the two extremes, and most ham is very 
easy to recognize as such.
