I was around in those days. My memory isn't the greatest anymore, but what I 
recall was that they did automatic rescoring, and then manually tweaked a 
few of the values, basically to make them look pretty by rounding off long 
fractions. BAYES_999 may have been scored almost completely manually, I 
can't quite recall.
