There are two topics that should be separate: checksums and congestion
control.

That's in response to Ross, about checksums.
Where we disagree is whether the "bull in the china shop" gets to ignore
the rules of the road to get what it wants.
congestion
I.e., I won't disagree on what router vendors want or what they're willing
to support (though I will disagree on what hardware can do, based on
experience).
checksums
I will disagree that routers get to run roughshod over the rest of us to
do it.
Simple solution -- don't use UDP.
congestion.
Joe, do I understand correctly that you've conceded about checksums and now
you want to talk about congestion again?
