this is debatable.  (i disagree, but the debate remains open.)

this is not debatable, since it depends on facts not in evidence/consensus.

there are more rfc1918 end hosts than there are non-rfc1918 end hosts, and
the uses being made of rfc1918 aren't limited to "couldn't get enough unique
address space" situations.  calling it a mistake, merely in passing, would
remove you from any debate on the dependent issues.
