I’ll swear it’s a horrible assumption.

Personally, I use many IP addresses each day.
Some of them are also used by others.
Some of them are not.

Equating IP Address <-> Person relationships as being anything remotely resembling 1:1 is beyond absurd. To do so with an IPv6 /64 is even more so.

Considering it to be reasonable or “good enough” is so far from valid I don’t even know where to begin.
