    That's a repetition of the same position that's been stated over and
    over, without justification.  If A sends to B directly in the absence
    of an advertised route, A is "stealing" resources from B.  If B sends
    to A indirectly through A's transit provider, then B is "stealing"
    resources from A.  What makes the former case worse in your mind than
    the latter, when it results in higher reliability, lower cost, and a
    sounder architecture?

    Reiterating the same position over and over without any basis or logical
    foundation does nothing to convince anyone that your position is of
    any merit.
