So were you trying to reinforce my point or ...?

But seriously, to the VT researcher:
Take 100 random IPs and run them through WHOIS and try to come up with
anything close to useful abuse contacts. Don't like random? Take a
statistical sample from a blacklist. If you don't know where to find
one, here: https://github.com/bitwire-it/ipblocklist

It's a short script.  Write it and run it.  You don't need a survey
to understand that the efficacy approaches zero faster than my
investment in United Buggywhip, Cassette Tape, and Coal Delivery Inc.
