> Those sort of shenanigans may sound rather absurd now, because there would be a real cost to enacting them in a convincing manner. However IF the real value of an IPv4 address increases beyond the cost of such ploys, suddenly they become worthwhile doing. Would not the cost/difficulty of effectively differentiating between gaming and the real thing also increase for ARIN under such circumstances?

They're not absurd at all, there are companies doing this right now.
There is one small company using 3 x /18, mostly for blackhat SEO and
IRC virtual hosts.
