As an ISP, if we assign someone a /20, we'd be hard pressed to get additional
resources from ARIN providing "proxy" or "irc" as justification.

As an end user, he bypasses such restrictions, given a host doesn't care about
proper justification in assigning him his original /20.

Disconnect in policy?
