Also 4_294_901_931 is actually just small enough to fit in a u32 whose max value is 4_294_967_295

Ha, this is exactly right! It's 100% in u32 range and part of the private use reservations so wouldn't appear in the internet table unless such values aren't filtered by the provider and/or it's being used locally.
Originally I went to write your exact comment because it seemed the value in the article should fit at a glance and then I must have done the comparison check backwards because I started pasting the 2^32 value in the rest of my comment concluded it was actually too large when really I had just jumbled things about.
Thanks for setting my mind straight!
