Interesting point. But peering is a commercial relationship. Basing it on 
number of prefixes is IMO a wierd view, but yes that is done. It CAN be a 
meassurement, but hopefully people using it as an argument is clever enough 
to actually look at the routes - not just the numbers of them.

I seriously doubt that this is the real reason for the routes though.
