Imagine you qualify to receive a /23 but there are no /23s available on
the market.  AIUI, the policy's intent was to prohibit you buying half
of someone else's /22.  However, is there any harm in ARIN fulfilling
your request with my two disjoint /24s in that scenario?  Keep in mind
you could get my /24s (or one from me and one from someone else) anyway
via two separate transfer requests.

This interpretation, which could be creatively read into the policy
text, could easily explain the statistics recently posted and, IMHO,
doesn't violate the policy's intent or goals.
