Well, having compared notes, I am wary of anyone who calls themselves a "specialist" without personal knowledge and trust of the person. :) I've certainly heard a lot of dodgy stories about so-called "specialists" in networking from a very trusted source over the years.

True, but IPv6 has mechanisms for source IP privacy without NAT.
