I misread your inquiry also, performing s/negative/positive/.  Simply,
false negatives will occur if noone has reported that message.  Most
people feed off the databaes, and don't report anything of their own, most
likely due to the fact that SA likely doesn't encourage automatic
reporting automatically (Razor had issues with this in the past).  

Additionally, in general, you have to be somewhat competent in writing
running scripts to assist in reporting, given the interface that pyzor
provides, reading RFC822 on stdin.  For those who don't have raw access to
their mailbox, instead using IMAP or POP3, reporting becomes difficult.  
Inversely, those with maildir or similar simple file-oriented email
storage have a much easier time reporting batches of spam to the server.
