I did not show my work. 

I apologize.  I will try again:

If I am a commercial customer of an eyeball ISP like Road Runner: *I am 
entitled to expect that that ISP is technically capable of protecting
me from possible attack traffic from that other customer*, who's outside
my administrative span of control.  If they can send me traffic directly
across a local access subnet, that requires a much larger hammer than if
such traffic must cross the edge concentrator first, the configuration
I assert is a better choice.

Does that help?
