Perfect trains immediately after scoring with the _actual_
classification.
Corrected trains immediately after scoring with the _guessed_
classification, then fixes everything to _actual_ at the end of
the day. (This was interesting to me because it somewhat closely
models my actual usage, given my nightly retrains.)

In the raw output, yes, though I didn't graph it. Some rough
cumulative averages:
perfect: 42 ham unsure and 290 spam unsure
corrected: 55 ham unsure and 330 spam unsure
fpfnunsure: 80 ham unsure and 1200 spam unsure
