I get your point, but IOIs can also apply to the beginning of the interaction.No you can't, IOIs don't mean anything, it does not guarantee a lay. I got IOIs from married women, women with boyfriends, women that were not interested in dating/or in me, etc. When they are interested, then you deal with flakes, ex.bf, ghosting, etc.
To be successful in cold approaching you have to approach every girl that you like. When I say "like" it means: "yeah she's really hot, I must talk to her". If you wait for IOIs you can wait forever and miss a lot of opportunities. Most of the girls I met and got laid with through daygame had no idea that I existed until I approached them.
I try to approach 1-2x a day, that is the minimum. Ideally I should approach 4-5x a day. But I don't approach just for the sake of approaching, if I don't see any girls worth approaching, I just don't approach. For example when I lived in Moscow I could approach 8-10x easy, here in Prague it's more like 1-2x.
I agree with you that spam approach is a waste of time, I meet women during my daily activities, everything time I leave the house it's on.
Nobody has ever called the police, and I can't remember any really harsh reactions.
For instance, if you walk up to a girl and say hey you're gorgeous, what's your name? And they respond with their name but don't ask for yours? Take that as a sign they're not interested, and walk away.
