Or in my case, using the -I option to specify source address:

 -I interface address
        Set  source address to specified interface address. Argument may be
        numeric IP address or name of device. When pinging IPv6  link-local
        address this option is required.

Since an extra option is required, the risk of somebody doing this by
accident is significantly reduced.
