Leslie,

I understand your point, but we leave ourselves open to many forms of 
attacks, or errors, by assuming that "what you receive is what was 
sent" in this era of the Internet.  Security is not black and white, 
but the gray area we're discussing does bother me.  If one cares 
about knowing where the data originated, and that it has not been 
altered, then one needs to make use of the tools provided to address 
that concern.  if one doesn't use the tools, then one does not care 
very much, and the results may be surprising :-).
