If Rob wanted to do it right :-)
In 2001, approximately 33.5% of IPv4 address space was being announced
in the global routing table. If you wanted to do complete negative
filtering, you need to filter 66.5% of the IPv4 address space.

Unfortunately, all we have is a rather blunt tool. Its a bit like
trying to fight credit card fraud by rejecting any card that doesn't
begin with a 4 (Visa) or 5 (partial Mastercard range). It may work as
a limited data entry check, but its not enough.
