Somebody who isn't smart enough to do 'nmap -p 0-65535 $target' isn't worth diverting.
I'm sure everybody who got whacked by Lion or CodeRed or Blaster or.... are glad to hear those attacks weren't worth diverting. The point is that if somebody is doing 'nmap -p 0-65535' at you, you are a *specific* target, and not one of the "get a probe every 4 minutes" targets that every machine on the wire is.
