That's a material change to the spam that's forbidden by the rules.

The point isn't to mess around with the spam until the parser accepts 
it, it's to create a parser that works accurately. There will inevitably 
be teething problems along the line, and the problem I was having with 
outdated spam is one of them, but they don't justify making changes to 
the spam itself IMO.
