What absolute nonsense. Ping packets too, being ICMP over IP, are directed by routing tables. The -I option is to set the source IP address in locations where source routing is used. In typical Linux usage, it has no meaning. When you use Linux boxes as advanced routers, then ping -I is a good debugging tool.
