Oh?  Do you have proof that "right away" means "immediate in-line checking"?
My laptop is currently a 100BaseT and a gigabit hop from the mail server -
a proper bounce done the way you want can arrive in under 2-3 seconds.
If you count in the fact that my laptop has a perfectly good MTA of its own,
a bounce can come back before I've gotten the mouse cursor off the 'send'
button.

Contrast that to a possibly multiple-hour wait if you're sending it off to 
wherever
Verisign is sucking your mail.  And *MAYBE* a bounce. (Work out what happens
if you send to more than one bad recipient).
