Let's rewind the discussion.

The original context was "why do I need to have a dot in my HELO string".

The reason you need a dot in your HELO string is because SMTP receivers
may reject you as a spammer (or incompetent, same end result) if you do
not have one.

That's all.

All this academic crap about nodes and empty lists is irrelevant.
