Not really. Given that they all route to the same mailbox you can't (one
would hope) have 'fred.blogs' and 'fredblogs' assigned to different
people's Google Accounts. it also means that it doesn't matter if Fred
Blogs misses the dot out of their e-mail address or not.

What else is wrong with that?
