This sounds perfect to me. Not only do I not have to talk to spammers, I don't even need to listen to their messages.

Spammers leave a message because they hear something and their bot starts talking. So it is worse than if I just don't answer.

But legit people, they just hang up. That's also a worse situation than not answering because in that case they'd have left a message. (this is hit or miss. Sometimes they leave a message. But 0 times have they actually responded to the screening)
