To me, the statement "if you think something that helps reduce spam is 
by definition worth doing, that the "spam war" is about eliminating spam 
without regard for legitimate mail concerns, you have the equivalent 
intelligence of someone who believes that 1+1=3" is accurate. 

If you think the war on spam is about eliminating spam, you're 
equivalent to a 1+1=11 thinker.  The war on spam can only be acceptable 
if it is about eliminating all of the spam you can eliminate without 
interfering with the delivery of a single piece of legitimate mail. 

Sender authentication is ill-considered on the getting-real-mail-through 
side, because the proponents have dismissed legitimate concerns (no 
collateral damage, inappropriateness or impossibility of controlling 
connectivity requirements, incompatibility with prevailing forwarding 
technology) as fodder in their crusade.
