True, these days, at least in part.
Since the latest zone for .net (and maybe .com according to the
announcement) contains data that
* indicates existance for domains that actually do not exist, and
* incorrect addresses for domains that exist, but are not using the
name service of netSOL cum verisign,
it is arguably not a valid zone file. Therefore, any root server
operators should refuse the improper zone file.

We are about to empirically determine the independence of the root
server operators.
