I guess you don't consider redundancy to be intelligent.  I do.  I guess
you can call me stupid.

The problem here Paul is that you can't seem to see the forest for the

If you consider routing table size reduction so important, why don't you
filter all /24's?  That will give you much more benefit than /20's that
have been de-aggregated.
