I think you are correct in saying that they both accomplish the filtering
equally well. But the icanreach/icannotreach feature provides the ability to
share with those capabilities with the peer. So if the desire is to get a
peer to cache the information and reduce explorer traffic, then the
icanreach/icannotreach offers more than simply local filtering.
