I got that idea from the use of the word "unused" on https://www.arin.net/resources/transfers/index.html
IPv4 address space and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) issued by ARIN or its
predecessors may only be transferred to another organization when:
• An organization acquires the assets that are using IPv4 addresses
and/or ASNs in a currently operating network via a merger, acquisition, or
similar transaction
• An organization with unused IPv4 address space or an ASN releases it
to a specified recipient who qualifies for it under current ARIN policy
(Note also the "may only" part.)
On that same page,
TRANSFERS TO SPECIFIED RECIPIENTS
(NRPM 8.3)
If your organization is in need of, or currently holds unused ARIN-issued IPv4
address space or an Autonomous System Number (ASN) you may request an 8.3
Transfer (Transfer to Specified Recipients within the ARIN Region) transfer.
I guess what you are saying is that the "unused" part is unused in operation.
:-)
Btw, There are also mentions of "unused" at the APNIC site.
