Here's a simple one involving "squat" space: You have a network that
internally is using *all* of 10.0.0.0/8 *and* 5.0.0.0/8 (because you
have enough customers to fill two /8s).

Now that 5.0.0.0/8 is being allocated, you need to move out of it (so
that your users can reach the real 5.0.0.0/8 sites).

Why wouldn't this be sufficient justification for a new /8 from ARIN?

Because you can probably use the other two 10/8's you already have.
And if thiose run out, a third 10/8 is cheap even on the secondary market.
