You should hear the whining from any EU-based operator who has to implement the transfer of RIPE NCC resources in a corporate acquisition. I recently was involved with one of those and the amount of due diligence required by the RIPE NCC was pretty intense. If I were at an RIR I'd be insulted by your claim of "no... effort whatsoever".
I do not and would not dispute that at least a few RIRs... in particular ARIN and RIPE... are -very- good and -very- diligent these days in their vetting of the legitimacy of what the RIRs themselves, and on their (secret) -internal- books list as "registrants" of number resources. But what is listed on the internal books of any given RIR is -not- what appears in the WHOIS records. It's just that simple. Your RIR may have given you a full rectal exam prior to giving you your IP addresses. But how does that help -me- if you're sending me bad packets and your WHOIS records says the following?
