People have been bleating about routing tables sizes for years and
everything has been fine. You could argue that the bleating has helped
keep the size down of course, perhaps it has.

guy walks into a psychiatrist's office waving a newspaper.  shrink
asks "why are you waving that newspaper?"  guy responds "to keep
the elephants away."  shrink says "heck, there are no elephants for
thousands of miles."  guy responds "pretty effective isn't it!"
