Pinging the address used by a NIC won't necessarily do anything at the
hardware.  The TCP/IP stack may still handle that internally.

e.g. This PC's network card uses 192.168.1.4, if I ping that address,
nothing happens at the card, yet I get ping responses.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
