Ah, I'm in agreement with you there. True, it's defintely possible for that type of thing to happen, just as it's possible for spammers to figure out how to get past greylisting (oh, damn, I think they already did...) But real problems trump theoretical ones every time. The problem in the typical business is that, before they go and allocate resources to something they want to know "where's the payoff" - unfortunately it will take someone being bitten, as a concrete example, before they say "oh, *there's* the payoff".
