I tend to agree with the intent but not so much for privacy as for the simple 
fact that
/32's tend to constantly be in flux. When I requested additional addressing
it was obvious that until the SWIP showed very close to 80% the rest of the
supporting documentation would not be reviewed. I was "advised" to SWIP all
of my /30's and /32's. These have taken up most of the time I spend doing
SWIP's since. It seems that they change daily. The smaller you are the greater
the relative burden. Automation has an overhead that at a certain size is 
justified.

Honesty becomes a major burden when the bureaucracy wants greater and greater 
detail.
