There are good reasons to want to get those packets (traceroutes from
people who have numbered their networks in rfc1918 networks,

No John, there are exactly zero reasons, good or otherwise, for allowing
any traffic with RFC-1918 source addresses to traverse any part of the
public Internet.  Period!  :-)

You are being religious, and I shall not descend into this sort of
discussion with you. It is simply non productive nor professional.

I disagree, and believe that other reasonable people do so as well,
and there is therefore argument over this issue. People should not
assert canonicity upon it. End of story.
