If so, only because it allows speculators to drive up the market price,
which is not in the interests of those who actually need resources.

ARIN policy is not arbitrary, and it's set by the community; if you see
a problem with how needs testing is done, feel free to suggest changes.

If your complaint is actually that the minimum block size is not small
enough, that is an entirely different problem from needs testing.
