This document is ancient by internet standards, it's over a year old. 
Further, if you'll do a search for spam bots that process web pages, 
you'll find a number of tools that process the examples they use in this 
document they claim did not get spam.

So before you suggest someone is not doing the research, I'd suggest you 
make sure the research you site is up to date and/or credible.
