Bill Moran, and lo! it spake thus:

Well, just to be anal about it...   false.
192.168.2.0 is a perfectly valid IP address in any number of cases; for
instance, it's a fine address about 3/4 of the way through the
192.168.0.0/22 subnet.

Of course, sticking it (or any other address, except in some cases which
don't apply here) on loopback is just silly.  The addresses used in the
SLIP attachment make a lot more sense.
