This shows the importance of a good NAT firewall.

You got that wrong. You meant "the importance of a good firewall". NAT is a bad, bad thing, at least in the usual meaning of that word -- while technically any kind of a box in the middle meddling with sender/receiver fields in a packet is network translation, the typical setup of X machines being shoehorned into 1 IP doesn't have a single benefit, just a lot of downsides.
