What the hell are you talking about, or are you being deliberately
obtuse? At some time in the future your company may be in a position
where data isn't getting through because of a problem in the intervening
path, and the the only way an intermediate device can advise you of the
reason is by sending ICMP. Which it sounds like you are filtering out.
