Yes, but when some bozo on the network misconfigures his system and
steals the IP of the default router, all hell breaks lose.
BSD is nice enough to tell you that a duplicate ARP response has been
received and gives you nobs to be able to turn this on and off.
BTW, the same issue came in IPv6, where a malicious user can cause
all sorts of nasty things on the network and the solution for that was SEND
(RFC 3971). So at least the same problem can be solved in IPv6.
