"No matter if it is a white cat or a black cat; as long as it can catch
mice, it is a good cat."
The question is whether the focus should be about catching the mice
or determining whether the cat should be white or black.
From RFC 4960:
"Since there is no explicit identifier that can be used to detect
out-of-order SACKs, the data sender must use heuristics to determine
if a SACK is new."
I'd say that sniffing is a heuristic.
