The example you gave should not result in "passing transit traffic over
a peering link" unless the more specifics are filtered somewhere.  The
only traffic you should be sending to the more specifics learned from
your peer is from your own customers.  In that case it is legitimate
peering traffic and also the best path based on the information you have
available (bgp).

You aren't re-advertising the more specifics learned from your peers
to non-customers right?
