No, an organization is not assumed to have perfect knowledge of all
their authorized sending sources. If that were common, there would have
been much less need for DMARC in the first place.

In order to move from p=none to p=reject it seems like you need to know that. One of the big advantages of DKIM is that you don't need to have know the network configuration of outsiders; you just add a selector for them. Not accommodating people who don't or can't know all of the legitimate IP addresses seems like a defect in the design/architecture of DMARC reporting, and leads to why it can be attacked in the way I described.
