This is a similar argument to the reasons why no content offers wanted
to do IPv6 in the past. If you are the only one filtering/having AAAA
you are by definition the bad guy breaking the internet. If most are
filtering/having AAAA the blame is shifted to the people actually not
doing it correctly.

If 50% of the networks had filtered more-specifics from the beginning,
we would not be in the situation where people announced
smaller-than-allocated and got through with it. It would just be a known
fact that these would not work (like >/24 in IPv4).

I have the bad feeling it is too late now.
