Your're partially right. To block 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 you would use a /12. The /16 would only block 172.16.0.0 to 172.16.255.255, not the range you listed below.

>My dispute is with the 172.16.0.0 addresses (though I am not sure correct line). The reson is the only class B teaditional addresses are 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.0.0 meaning 172.32.0.0 is not an RFC 1918 addresses. My understanding is the prefix-list will block addresses 172.16.32.0/16 - 172.254.0.0/16 which are not RFC 1918 addressses.
