Actually, it doesn't. It raises a highly speculative possibility that in some 
future world, someone in a revocation case MIGHT argue that ARIN has a 
financial incentive to recover the resources, and that that argument MIGHT 
affect the outcome, and that it might affect it in a way that is bad. The legal 
assessment provides no reason to conclude that this speculative possibility 
outweighs the clear benefits of efficient disposition of the resources. The 
legal assessment does not explain why the financial incentive behind nonpayment 
of fees is different from the financial incentive of auction proceeds. The 
assessment doesn’t entertain the possibility that a financial incentive to 
ensure compliance might be a good thing. 

I've been on the AC and watched a number of legal assessments come up with 
really weak reasons for not passing a policy. This is one of them.
