There is not a zero percent chance of using taunt deliberately to effect. Mob flips, hit taunt, mob faces you again. It isn't rocket science.
Yes yes, strategically it would be better if the mob never flipped to begin with, but shit happens—people slow early, you get stunned/pushed so miss a round of attacks and spells, etc. This is the same scenario your spam approach would apply to as well.

If you never use taunt on cooldown, you have a zero percent chance of it automatically working. That is what I am saying. I didn't say that using taunt deliberately has a zero percent chance of success. You can switch between both strategies as well, taunt only has a 6 second cooldown.

not saying using taunt strategically is a bad idea. I am simply refuting the strange claim that spamming taunt does nothing. Both methods give you a chance to taunt to effect.
Taunt is just a random numbers game. Either you spam taunt and have a chance for it to automatically work, or you use taunt strategically and have a chance to waste it due to the mob running out of range. There are pros and cons to both strategies. At the end of the day taunt is still unreliable, which means neither strategy should be relied upon. If you are at the point where you are trying to use taunt reliably, that means your group is doing something wrong. You are desperate.
