I never did.

I said that it is stupid to use that for a single network.

You're supposed to cut yourself an appropriately sized piece from
those ranges, and hope that you'll never have to connect to a network
that uses the same piece, and that you can reduce that probability by
choosing small pieces and neither the obvious ones nor the ones you
know that everyone else uses.
