There is not a single ARIN policy for which you are completely unable to engineer a sufficient workaround so as to violate its intent while still preserving some appearance of being close to the letter of the policy.

This is a consensus-based policy process where adherence to the policy is largely voluntary and where the community functions primarily on the expectation that most entities will act in good faith.

Refusing to make policy more accurately and clearly describe operational practice will
benefit the community. Refusing to do so merely because you cannot strictly and
reliably enforce the policy in a handful of corner cases, doesn't make much sense.
