Default Email spam bots - display name vs. actual email address

A webmaster that I thought was pretty knowledgeable insists that having the displayed text for an email hyperlink NOT be the actual email address reduces the amount of spam sent to that email.

I think that the bots are smart enough to get the email address from the anchor tag and that it doesn't matter what the displayed text says.

Anyone know the real truth?

Thanks!
