In the past, many folks have noted that telling ARIN the truth -- even when
in compliance with their posted policies and RFC2050 -- often does not get
requests approved.  If the only way to get approved is to lie, that is what
people will do.  If ARIN finds significant numbers of its applicants are
lying, perhaps they ought to reexamine why they're denying so many
legitimate requests.
