This isnt the point. The point is, why should others suffer the burden of
your clients spewing bogon/spoofed/nonsense garbage at them?
The effect is cumulative. If everyone takes this lazy apathetic approach
to network administration, it hurts everyone.
Its the difference between being a good neighbor and being the fat
beerbelly neighbor with dogs barking all night and rusting camaro with no
tires up on cinderblocks on his beercan littered lawn.
Just because everyone else doesnt maintain a good network doesnt mean you
shouldnt.
