From a single data point on my router, /24's currently account for 64% of the routing table entries and for 65% of the flapping prefixes. /16's account for 12% of the routing table entries, and 10% of the flapping prefixes. It doesn't appear to me there is a significant difference between flap behaivor of long prefixes and short prefixes. There are more long prefixes than short prefixes. But as a group they both tend to flap the same proportion of 2% of the routes within the group.
Sorry, I'm not convinced this is the case. There is not enough empirical evidence. - paul
