. . . .

Hardly "complete and utter crap" when it has to be followed by a laundry 
list of exceptions.

SIP and NAT are a challenge to manage, and SIP apologists shouldn't try 
to paper that over by pretending otherwise.

Most of us who manage lots of Asterisk instances in heterogeneous 
real-world environments know that SIP woes come with the territory.

SIP doesn't work behind NAT very well.
