Yeah, I don't pick up calls unless they're from someone in my contacts. Too much spam, scam, and scum.

Also: push-to-Siri is maybe the least convenient, but also least annoying and most consistent trigger. Apple Watch comes with "raise-to-Siri" on by default; picture chatting with someone while chilling on the couch, moving your wrist the wrong way, and Siri randomly interjecting based on something you said, taken completely out-of-context. I tend to disable features like these as soon as they come out.

This is exactly what I’m curious about with these calls, especially after reading the article and the curious transcription of the voicemail — might they be intended to trigger the watch or iPad or another iPhone or something when played aloud? Probably not but I’m curious.
