I'd bet your life (:-)) you're wrong. I personally have experience

with particular prefixes having _significantly_ higher valuation than

others (prefixes with '8's in them seemed in particularly high

demand). Given a choice between something in 192.0.0.0/8 and

1.0.0.0/8, would you be surprised if the first commanded a higher

value than the second?
