FPL acceptance by CFMU

Recently I have been presented with FPLs that are as much use as a chocolate tea pot save that the departure point and arrival airfield were the intended ones.

Errors abound including:

a SID direct into CAS and a first reporting point 272nm away in someone elses FIR (funnily enough we didn't get to do that)

a routing along U## in the lower levels

routings which increase the flying time by 1/3 (even ATC queried that with "Where are you actually going to?")

Does the system not filter cr*p like this out and reject it. In the event of RT failure I'm sure that I'd struggle to do something half reasonable.
