Indeed but it works well when you have more than one device
(esp. phones) accessing the inbox, as you note later in your post, *and*
if you have a Inbox 0 approach!

My approach, when I use gnus splitting, is that I do not expect any
emails in my INBOX once gnus has processed them.  I do access emails on
my phone frequently so I need those that have been read elsewhere split
as well.  In my case, *all* emails in my INBOX get split off to
somewhere, whether to a special folder or to a "general" catch-all
folder for emails that I cannot classify.

I hope this makes sense...
