actually I'm fairly convinced that "nearly unique" would be good enough as long as we could convince people to actually assign random site prefixes instead of just choosing one (like all zeros or whatever).
and they seem to have the "right" property regarding routability - the chance of collisions is so low that you can hook them up with a large number of other networks via private arrangement without fear of collision, but high enough that there's a clear incentive for ISPs to filter these things from routing advertisements.
