Not true, because...

It's not worse. That bounce message for the mail you actually sent may be very
critical.... Consider the following scenarios:
1) You've been working on fixing a problem for 16 hours, and decide to call it
quits and get some sleep, so you mail your boss and co-workers with a status
update.
2) You make some trivial error (perhaps you type "steve. bill" rather than
"steve, bill".
3) The mail of course has issues.
With a bounce:
4) You get the bounce, say "D'Oh!", fix the problem, resend, and go home and
get some sleep. Steve and Bill know the status, and finish fixing it and
everything is fine.
Without a bounce:
4) You go home, and the next morning the boss rips into you for not keeping
everybody posted. Steve and Bill didn't see your note, and they've tried to
clean up after you, and only making things worse because they didn't know about
the stuff you told them in the note that bounced....
