i suggest you measure the number of prefix allocations in the arin
region which are in the arin irr.

no.  i meant they did not choose to register in the irr of the rir from
which they got the space.  ripe region is unusual in a very positive
way.  do not induce to other regions.

i have better sources :)

but that was not my assertion.  my point is that, in other regions, a
large portion of the space allocated by the rir is not registered in the
irr provided by the rir.

the ripe region is an outlier.  and in a good way.  we should not induce
to other regions without measurement and can not tell operators there
how to run or register their networks.
