Interesting thread. I've been thinking about the 'exceptions to the rule' comment. All I can think of is redistributed routes. If this is the case, using previous example, say r1 has a number of redistributed routes that it has injected into eigrp process surely these are also advertised irrespective of the network statement. Network statement basically allows process to run on the interface and says which new routes to inject plus what is already part of the process. Or ... Thinking some more r1 can advertise a network and when a packet is sen to it it uses a static route (or alt method) to get to next hop Where net resides.
