Frankly, the claim is just silly. There are *zero* security benefits from having the transport-layer pseudo-header checksum include the IP address. Zip. None. Zero.
I would add there are very little *other* benefits as well. Definitely not at the cost of unnecessary complexity implementors have to go through to checksum UDP messages.
