You are right. Most firewalls are stateful now, but what if the organization isn't using a firewall? What if they are 
using a router or some other device instead? This technique once again becomes a viable option.

I would guess the more usual scenario is to have a stateful firewall
on the perimeter, plus maybe some ACLs applied on internal routers.
Still, you're right - trying a few different source ports may help,
and it doesn't hurt to try.

cheers,
Jamie
