The 'threat' that you are citing is for a signed message, which means that there is a verifiable, accountable identity associated. That identity will have a reputation.

What proof do you have to validates the assertion?

  "That identify will have a reputation."

How is "reputation" defined and how does the generalized network email infrastructure reach that conclusion without resorting to 3rd party Trust Services?

A valid DKIM signature offers a fair amount of information, even without it matching an email header.

The typical MTA can accrue a fair amount of DKIM related information without reliance on outside services.

When a domain is being assessed, negative points can be assigned when:

 o the domain is new to the receiver
        
 o the domain name server host or IP address is new to the receiver

 o the domain is known to send spam

o the domain name server host or IP address is known to publish spam related domain names
