Needless to say, I think the above is misguided.  People should not forge

I would disagree. I suspect that it is common for 'role' addresses to
be aliased to a personal address, often with the same person receiving
more than one 'role' address. If user(_at_)example(_dot_)com receives mail for
postmaster(_at_)example(_dot_)com and abuse(_at_)example(_dot_)com, they may 
well want
replies to mails sent to those addresses to show the appropriate
'role' account rather than user(_at_)example(_dot_)com(_dot_)

Absolutely.  People should remember that "address" and "identity" are
not the same thing.  A lot of addresses go to more than one person,
and a lot of people receive mail at more than one address.
