How about this, practicality. Let's say we can kill all NAT's by sunset,
Sunday. Who can make stop all the NAT's poping up Monday morning? They
might be up all night building experimental network, with red eyes?

Yes! TCP breaks due to the fact that "true" source/destination sockets
cannot be defined. The destination would not know where to send a response
except in the case where DNS is used...unless I need to do more reading

What's the problem with locally significant addresses? Having thousands of
10 networks will never present a problem unless those networks at some point
would like to talk to each other. Is that where this whole discussion is
going (or coming from) - that ultimately the more NAT'ing we do, the more
headaches we're creating for ourselves en route to true global connectivity?

because in a NATted network the same addresses are used in different
parts of the network. addresses are meaningless.
