UDP seems more like a ball fired from canon to me. You may not be prepared for it and you won't know what state it's in when it gets here, but that packet is making it to the gate no matter what. Or, in the rare case it doesn't, it means someone else is having a real bad time.
Because you're so prepared for a guy kicking a parcel over the fence. It's the same analogy my dude.
The kick over the fence means they took enough care to carry it as far as your fence. UDP lobs it from one town over.
