I think you malign Geoff to no purpose.

Geoff Houston is brilliant in putting up well thought out strawmans
(strawmen? Strawpeople?), often with the goal of cristalizing what exactly we don't like about them.

I've never seen such independent polling.  I've seen water bottle company polls :-)

If you think IPv4 is fine, then Geoff's architecture, with 0.0.0.0/1 being for

swamp/infrastructure should work just fine.  The question is how to get
there.
