The point is that, having collected the email address, it's useless
unless one actually uses it *as an email address*, by sending a message
to it. Before then, “validating” it tells you nothing.
Right, the only legitimate use of an email address is sending legitimate
email to it. An example might be collecting an address so that service
staff can respond to a help request. If there is not an up-front, good
reason to want to email the address, then collecting it is not
legitimate. An example is web sites where users have to supply
addresses to register. This is why mailinator.com was invented, but
it's annoying even if you use mailinator.
