In my experience (an N of two, my wife and me), if you actually take the time to empty the spam folder, you get less and less.

I suspect after you've assertively deleted certain types of spam, it gets more fully blacklisted, and gmail no longer delivers it to your spam folder, even.
I believe you are mistaken about this.
My reasoning: If that were true, then the end-user would have no recourse in the case of false-positives. I don't believe that any company implementing a spam filter, no matter how good that filter is, would trust the filter so much as to leave the user no recourse.
The difference in the amount of spam between your wife and yourself is likely due to other factors. It's normal for two people to get different amounts of spam.
