This is a naive understanding.  Source-routing would let me get
packets through to an internal address unless your NAT also acts as a
firewall.

(Granted, I think it turns out that pretty much all NATs do this kind
of firewalling in all cases.  But there's no reason why a firewall
allowing only outgoing connections should be any more error-prone than
a NAT gateway.)
