Oh, this is undoubtedly true. I even see this in discussions with peers. 
They know perfectly how routing works. But then something in their mind 
breaks when they cannot deploy a NAT at every network border... (This is 
sadly not a joke, even though it sounds like one). For them routing is 
what you do within the company and if you want to leave the company or 
want to pass through a firewall you'll need to NAT it to a public IP...

And just that you know, I'd also vote for deprecating NAT entirely, but 
that wouldn't change anything. But this is all off topic again.
