Actually that is intentional and well thought out. It prevents people from typing in that IP and trying to do something. When real phone numbers appeared on TV or in songs it was quite annoying for the person whose number that was. They are just trying to avoid similar inconveniences.

What is the best way for humans to deal with the inconsistent amount of light over the year and still foster coordination over disparate time zones?"
