Even if they're correct, who's to say anyone will actually read them?
Incorrect email contacts are a problem though...both an annoyance when
spam complaints sent to them bounce and in some cases a facilitator of
network hijacking.
Perhaps registries (not just ARIN) could consider sending monthly or
quarterly ping messages to all contacts, and auto-remove the ones that
bounce, while sending a notification of such action to the remaining
functional contacts on the record.
