Quoting writer's interpretation: "Bounces should only be sent if the receiver knows they'll be "usefully delivered." This is code for: Don't sent bounces when your system rejects spam or virus traffic, or you'll become an Internet pariah." That sounds nice in theory. But how can you ever in a sane manner determine with reasonable certainty a bounce will be usefully delivered? If you try to make this work it makes it also more likely legitimate bounces will not be sent out. Which in turns conflicts with: "Silently discarding messages is not prohibited, but it is strongly discouraged." Or am I missing something totally obvious?
