   Basically, I fully agree. There are several methods to map an internal   
   network. If one doesn't work, the bad guy simply tries another. But it could   
   make senses to hide internal addresses as part of a security concept. If I'm   
   concerned about my network security I would go for application level gateways   
   which act as proxy and also filter stuff application specific. NAT doesn't   
   prevent malicious web content to be downloaded while browsing the web.
