I believe that APNIC runs their region how they see fit and we run
ours how we see fit.  They seem to be more fine with that than we are
for some reason, but that's fine too.

The fact that they had disposed of need at one point probably lends
itself to Williams point. I think trying to dismiss that point all
considered by seeking "evidence" is not useful.
