False dichotomy. You're not being forced to do either.

If, for example, I were using BATV, how would I be able to tell the
difference?
Since there's no benefit to you in bouncing spam, whereas there _is_ a
claimed benefit in doing callouts, that means that if the practice of
doing callouts goes unchallenged and unpunished, I can expect to see
_more_ connections in the long term as a result of callouts (and C/R)
than as the result of bounced spam.
