>Spoofing TCP is useless - you actually need to receive all the packets sent to the original TCP

What do you mean "original TCP"? I'm talking about an attacker creating a new TCP connection with a spoofed source address.

> which means either you are already on the receiving path

Yes, I believe that's the threat model under discussion here. Tepix mentioned an attacker who can intercept a packet, which I believe means the attacker is already on the receiving path.
