Of course not.  That's an example of the reason that I don't find ADSP
useful (as opposed to manually vetted discard lists.)  There's no way to
tell whether the party publishing discardable understands what they're
saying.


And likewise there is no way to tell whether the party implementing discard 
lists understand what they're doing. IMHO, we should stay away from assuming 
the presence or absence of a given level of expertise of the mail admins on 
this earth.

There's a fairly key difference you're missing here.  For ADSP, each 
domain publishes what it thinks is its own policy, so if you look at a 
million domains, you have to guess about the competence of a million mail 
system managers.

On the other hand, if you use one or two published drop lists, you can 
afford to look at them and choose ones whose administrators are 
competent, without having to individually vet each entry.
