one in 3 spam messages converted?

["Jessica Weissman" <Jessica -dot- Weissman -at- hillcrestlabs -dot- com>]

That number is really hard to believe, as most of us receive either in
our inboxes or our spam filters hundreds of spam messages a day.  

Perhaps it meant 1 in every 3 mailings, not 1 in 3 individual messages.
Or it may be counting automated transfers to a spam mailbox as
"conversions".

become
very good with Gmail's filters.
