It can help demonstrate that /19 or lower leads to fewer suspect transfers
that ARE the potential fraud of one major type.
The fact that other kinds of fraud may exist is true,  but can be
considered separately.

Fraudulent ISP ``leasing'' addresses  ALSO  puts  the end user at higher
risk,  and thus
provides strong encouragement for the end recipient/customer to discover
the fraud
and make sure that  THEIR need for IP addresses does not get satisfied by
an invalid leasing.

Because,  you see...  when ARIN revokes  the IP space from the fraudulent
ISP
(the ISP that is not really an ISP but an entity "Leasing" IP addresses not
for ISP services):

then every entity that had "leased"   IP addresses from that entity will
 no longer have those
leased IP addresses  after the revocation and return to the waiting list of
the bogus ISP's aggregate block.
