I think we first need to deal with this (I'll assert) fantasy that
spammers see a 550 or removed an address from their lists because of
one with any significant frequency.
...
It would be really swell if people proposing or criticising mechanisms
would pay attention to what they know (e.g. there's a lot of spam),
what they strongly suspect (*some* spammers do or do not remove in
response 550's), and what they wish (*most* spammers do or do not
respond to 550's).

Ok, I'll bite, how do you know I don't know this? (tongue slightly in
cheek.)
