Well, there was really no chance that such a sweeping statement could be right.
At least that is one of the private ranges. If we find several IP addresses with only one in a private range, we can probably safely propose that one. Unfortunately that also won't be ironclad rule. Kovid's output above shows that he is using 3 private addresses, 2 class C and 1 class B.
