Please re-read the docs on what this command *does*.  It's a very good 
idea, because it brings automatic (and fast) anti-source-spoofing filters.

In this specific context, it prevents people on the WAN side sending
packets with an IP address claiming to be from the LAN side (thus
circumventing firewall filters, etc.)
