Attempting to create spam filter/segment for GA. Does this condition make sense/seem logical?

I’ve watched tons of videos and reads tons of articles about creating GA spam filters. Most have to do with referral spam, which is resolved with filtering out the various host names. My companies website only has traffic from our hostname, so that was not applicable to my situation.

The segment I created filtered the traffic by excluding Users with: Sessions = 1 AND Time on Page = 0

This implies removal of traffic that lead to an immediate bounce.

The issue with this is that with this segment, the total number of users on our website is 13.68% of All Users, meaning that 86% of our traffic is spam. Does that seem plausible or is this segment removing genuine bounce traffic as well?
