I understand your point, I just disagree with it, and am presenting 
arguments to the contrary.

How do you propose we administer IPv4 after the exhaustion of the ARIN 
free pool?  Should we allow transfers of any and all addresses down to 
/32 regardless of the impact on the routing system?  Should we simply 
deny all IPv4 requests, and require everyone to get PA space from ISPs 
who have it?  Does that constitute anticompetitive behavior?
