I figured as much, but it was worth a try. Which touches on the earlier discussion of the null routing of /32s advertised by a special AS (as a means of black-holing DDOS traffic). It seems to me that a more immediately germane matter regarding BGP route propagation is prevention of hijacking of critical routes. Perhaps certain ASes that are considered "high priority", like Google, YouTube, Yahoo, MS (at least their update servers), can be trusted to propagate routes that are not aggregated/filtered, so as to give them control over their reachability and immunity to longer-prefix hijacking (especially problematic with things like MS update sites).

Youtube tried that, to restore service to the rest of the world, and the announcements didn't propogate. Simon
