I would certainly hope so.  Otherwise it would be worse than useless.

And in the case we are concerned with, that of the spammer, what is to 
prevent the sender smtp server from claiming zero percent chance?  Or, 
if the white-hats realize "zero means it must be from a spammer", 
spammers could claim some random very low percentage.

I still don't quite see how this prevents them from getting spam, 
especially before the rest of the world has adopted your new way.

And thereby cause massive headaches all over.  This isn't impossible, and 
may in fact be the final way to go, but IMHO the new way is going to 
have to look much more promising first (enough that everybody's "what's 
in it for me?" is well-answered), and a lot of planning must go into it.  
Transition periods are hell....

I don't understand what you mean here.  Do you mean there will be some 
central database of duly authorized mail-sending servers, and spammers 
(and their z0mb13z belonging to clueless people on home broadband links) 
will not be in this database?  Who will administer this database?  How 
will servers be authorized?  How will its accuracy be ensured?  How will 
its availability be ensured?  How will the spammers be kept out?  How 
will those let in but later discovered to be spammers, be ejected?  How 
will everybody's willingness to be under said central authority's 
electronic thumb be ensured?  How will the authority's fairness be 
ensured?  It could be a distributed database like DNS, so that the 
centralization issues are less, but that just means that keeping the 
spammers out, keeping it accurate, and other such problems, become all 
the harder.  There is much clarification remaining to be done, and 
frankly I think it's on a shaky basis to begin with.
