Do these people never check what exactly they end up originating

Of course not because their neighbors are allowing it to
pass; so as with all hijacks, deaggregation, and other
unfiltered noise, the only care is traffic going in and
out. QA (let alone automated sanity checks) are alien
concepts to many, and "well it works" is the answer from
some when contacted.

That's sort of the BGP equivalent to BCP38 filtering, isn't it?
