If you provide inaccurate data, and, then, are unreachable, the data is
essentially fraudulent.  If you provide inaccurate data, and, then refuse
to correct it even though you are reachable, the data is definitely
fraudulent, so, yes, I think you are splitting hairs from a practical
ARIN perspective.  ARIN may already reclaim resources for non-payment
of renewal fees.  As such, if ARIN cannot contact you (case 1 above),
you will not receive your bill and it is unlikely the renewal will be
paid.  In the second case, the data qualifies as fraudulent.  If you
pay your fees, but, do not provide current accurate contact data
when you do so, I believe that qualifies as intent to defraud.

And it doesn't... It requires 4 times per month for three months.  There's
no
legitimate reason for a valid POC for a network resource to be unreachable
for 3 months solid.  A Seasonal business should have a responsive backup
POC from their upstream or such.  Otherwise, the rest of the world is
expected to live with their resources being abused while they aren't
looking?
I think that is bad for the world.
