My point is that the packet *is* invalid, if it is sent to a client that you know uses longer connection IDs.  The middlebox can then *reliably* identify the packet as being a stateless reset.  All it needs to know is that that client never uses shorter connection IDs.  That's not difficult; we don't assume that this sort of information is a secret.
