OK. So what Mr. Swiger refers to is not relevant - it's no reason to
add PTR records.
Yes, it is.
"Various software performs what's called a double-reverse lookup to confirm
that the A and PTR records match."
It means that various software checks your PTR and then A (or maybe
AAAA) records, and can fail if eny of them is not found ot rhe latter result
doesn't match the original IP address.
Now that IS a reason to add PTR for IP address, and they must point to
hostnames that point to the same IP.
