! It sounds like you are disagreeing with what Ken said, but what Ken said
! is correct. When a network statement matches an interface's subnet, that
! subnet will get dumped into the routing table as an intra area route. If

Yep - that is true - any kind of redistribution into OSPF is considered
as an external route (either it is connected/static or from another
routing protocol into OSPF) -

The External routes are carried under/by type 5 LSAs - which get floodeed
into the entire OSPF domain -
