I concluded it was possible to justify a /16. Let me put the question slightly differently: Is it possible to justify more than a /20? There were already /19s allocated by other RIRs, so I concluded that it is possible to justify more than a /20. I also believe nibble alignment is important, so I support /16 as the maximum allocation. Nevertheless, such /16 allocation should be rare; one in a decade aligns with that belief. However, those who think it is impossible to justify a /16 for an initial allocation should support this policy.
