This is actually pretty poor advice if you have downstream BGP that 
frequently (for whatever reasons) changes the prefix set they announce
to you.

BCP38 should be applied on ingress to your network (so you can see *who*
is sending you garbage), not on egress - and for BGP customers, it should
not be done by "looking at routes" but be integrated into the tool set
that updates your BGP ingress filters to update the ingress ACL right
away.
