Re: re the plenary discussion on partial checksums

> Why, oh WHY would I want to receive a known corrupted packet ?
why oh why would you ever want to talk with someone over a phone that
occasionally clicked or popped?

why or why would you ever want to watch a video with snow, or an
occasional missing pixel, or even an occasional missing frame?

sometimes getting a lossy packet is better than not getting one at all,
or having to wait for a retransmission.
