I don't think you're missing anything, it's probably true that in some
(probably most) cases split-horizon needs to be disabled, I just
happened to find one case where it didn't. The point I was trying to
make, not very clearly I'm afraid, is don't just blindly believe the
documentation. Mock it up, test it, trust nothing, verify everything.
