Not going to argue with that.  That indicator was just one like many
others.  I clearly failed to make my main point across: my main purpose
was not to state that the RIPE area is "worse" than the ARIN area, and
actually it do not think it really matters which one is worse.
Let us just say that the situation is bad (and there seems to be consensus
on this).

My main point was in the second half of the post, and concerned 
the meaning of "invalid resources", their long lifetime, the fact that
the current system is favoring people that lie about resource usage,
while in fact the opposite should be the case.
