Since these NAT devices are ONE-WAY filters they do not qualify as
firewalls, exploit aside, that's enough info to stop calling them
Firewalls.
OTOH most firewalls set up by non security people are set up as one
way filters. Unless people are actually going to work on setting a
firewall up, NAT is as good as a firewall
A firewall allowing all outbound, if you actually look at a real
firewall appliance is no where near the same as a NAT system.
isn't that what I said?

No, you said "NAT is as good as a firewall" for people that don't
properly setup a firewall. I said a firewall that allows all outbound is
still BETTER than a NAT solution.
