Yes, because your system fails accountability test. You
(non-intentionally) publish false data in DNS, and this problem must be

Broken DNS entries effectively prevent proper reporting of abuse evens
to host owners. It is exactly what "removalquery" checks, and it is
called "Accountability".

People are not blacklisted anyway; I hope, you are not a cyborg with
implanted network interface? In opposite, insecure and hijacked
computers (which are controlled by villains instead of legitimate
owners) - may and should be blacklisted (I believe).

Blacklisting is not a punishment. It is a safety precaution, nothing
more: the Internet community wants to know and insulate insecure data
sources. At least, until they become secure.
