I would have to respectfully disagree with you. When network operators do due diligence and SWIP their sub-allocations, they (the sub-allocations) should be authoritative in regards to things like RBLs.
After thinking it over: I partly-to-mostly agree. In principal, yes. In practice, however, [some] negligent network operators have built such long and pervasive track records of large-scale abuse that their allocations can be classified into two categories: 1. Those that have emitted lots of abuse. 2. Those that are going to emit lots of abuse. In such cases, I'm not inclined to wait for (2) to become reality. ---Rsk
