It may violate POLA, but it is expected if you've been around
networking a while.  That address is by default a class B. The
/24 makes it a subnet, and one would expect it to be 172.31.0.73.
Probably the correct change is for route to display
172.31.73.0/24, so that it is clear.  If I type in 10.1 as an
address, I expect that to be interpreted as 10.0.0.1.

Cheers,
Chris
