Hi Karl,
I'm having trouble seeing the nit you're picking. I can't compel you
to announce my BGP route but if you do announce it and your
announcement is inconsistent with my own then by definition it's
false. If your announcement is consistent with my own then you're
propagating the route as intended and I have no cause for complaint.

So far as I know, network operators have interceded and the false
routes have been withdrawn long before any route hijacking cases would
have gone to court.
