That depends....  if by  "summarize"   they mean filter prefixes
longer than say  /22,  or otherwise...:  discard  extraneous prefixes
from networks that were allocated a /16   network but chose to
deaggregate and advertise every /24  ------   choosing to accept only
the /16 advertisement  instead of installing these extra /24 routes in
the FIB,   then there are plenty of entries to "summarize" away.
