I don't expect that at all. Why make such an assumption, and the subsequent recommendation, rather than just state the choice in neutral terms? IMHO this whole paragraph needs to be rewritten in a neutral style. Something like: As quantified in Section 3.2.3 of [ULA], there is a very small but non-zero probability of two Locally Assigned ULA prefixes being equal. Network administrators who are concerned by this may prefer central allocations. In particular, network administrations which are planning to use Local IPv6 address prefixes for extensive inter-site communication over a long period of time could use a Centrally Allocated prefix, as there is then mathematically no possibility of allocation conflicts when interconnecting or merging networks. Individual administrations are free to choose either approach, and in fact could choose both, with a Centrally Allocated prefix for their production networks while using locally assigned prefixes in their experimental or lab networks.
