And what's small? CNN with a /24? eBay with a /24? Traffic wise they are certainly not small, visability wise they are certainly not small, and I'm pretty sure no one here will claim that. Yet both annouce /24's out of the Classful C space and get listened to (atleast by Verio who is a known filterer).
The Fourth Law of real-world routing table management: No matter how pure of heart, noble of spirit, and determined to filter at /19, You *will* end up punching out holes for things like a CNN /24 or an eBay /24 just to make the phone stop ringing.... ;)
