None of the reasons you have or could have given can negate my point,

reasons to accept this issue.  It is a matter of weighing the
advantages and disadvantages.

He who uses any SPF record cares enough about his domain to setup
a record.  Using "?" does not imply he's lazy, uninterested or
<insert any other negative word here>.

Nowhere did I say that.  It simply implies that he did not try as hard as 
possible to lock down his e-mail pathways.  I'll leave it to reputation 
providers to judge that fact.

(It may be worth noting that I do _not_ reject on Neutral, just on {Fail, 
SoftFail, TempError, PermError}.)

This is a valid policy [...]

Sure it is.  I have just explained the consequences of using "?", nothing 
more.
