Talking about which, it often amazes me to see how often the script

OTOH it's often amusing to see how many hops a 'non-routable' packet can
travel from various places before it gets dropped.

There's nothing "un-routable" about a packet with an RFC1918 source or destination address. The distinction between RFC1918 and non-RFC1918 addresses is simply one of scope (if they were "un-routable" they wouldn't be very useful for private use).
