I think it needs to build on the observation that there is no congruence
between network topology and geography to show that we have no way to make
geo addresses aggregate in practice. It doesn't need to be that long.
But since it's an abstract "why this doesn't work" argument, I think
it needs to be separate from any specific technical proposal.
