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?
