I do not disagree, however the real world sometimes works differently. Like
anycast, people break the rules and gets away with it.

In any case, this is from a recent personal experience. We had a problem
that led us to drop full tables and run with a default for a while. Nobody
noticed the difference, which is why I can confidently say that unless you
need the full tables for something, the advantages are somewhat overstated.

However one customer found a reachability problem. Turns out that a peer
was exporting a /19 prefix through a peering session with us and at another
site they exported a /24 from the same space with no routing between sites.
