You are correct, however it could be usefull in regards to
the topic at 
hand if this was configurable.

Folks are sounding as if they'd never 'traceroute'd
THROUGH a set of
unroutable IP addresses.  I have seen cases where my
'traceroute' looked
like this [when I've had the patience to not hit Interrupt
at the first
sign of stars]:

 1  1 ms  1 ms  1 ms  router.here
 2 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms  router.there
 3  *     *     *
 4  *     *     *
 5  *     *     *
 6  *     *     *
 7 80 ms 80 ms 80 ms  router.over.yonder
 8 90 ms 90 ms 90 ms  host.over.yonder

It works!

Its also quite annoying to wait for each hop to timeout.

Well, yes.  ;-}  But as someone hinted, that's purely a
problem with my
own psyche, which I do [to some degree] control.

OBTW, the 'ad hominem' attacks starting up in this thread
should really
be deprecated [speaking of which].
