This seems to imply several things:

        this is an assertion which many have claimed is false.
        based on empericial evidence.

 - you don't want to backhaul all the traffic in the internal network
   / VPNs, so you'll either need to announce a lot of more specifics
   or use IP addresses from local internet providers

        this is also an assertion based on false premise.

Care to offer a couple of examples of this empirical evidence ?
