 The Codex is a wiki that anyone can edit. Feel free to change it :)

 the comment is totally disregarded?

 I don't think the `pre_comment_approved` filter is the right thing to
 modify in this case. What you could do instead is mark the comment as
 "spam" if it doesn't meet the criteria you want, and then automatically
 delete spam comments on the `wp_insert_comment` action. Or, you can store
 some marker to "delete just this comment" in a global variable that you
 can access in your later action.

 It's not a perfect solution, but I think you'll find working with
 WordPress to be full of imperfect solutions that work well-enough.
