You're missing one of the basic issues with bogon sources: they are
often advertised bogons, IE the bad guy DOES care about getting the
packets back, and has, in fact, created a way to do so.


But if you've seen a BGP announcement with a prefix that covers the source,
is it really a bogon anymore?


IIRC "bogon" is specific to unallocated space. Whether it be advertised or not should not matter.
