Quite the opposite. It is a very carefully chosen set of words
indicating that:

1. DNS didn't stop functioning.
2. The internet did not fail to route packets because of this.

It carefully side-steps the other issues raised without looking like it
is ignoring them. Verisign is a lousy DNS provider and an even worse
registry/registrar, but, they have great press writers.

This means that there are no papers published or
conference presentations which detail the problems
caused by sitefinder. A number of people who
posted messages to this list could rectify that
lack of data by writing up their findings in a short
paper and presenting it at a conference or publishing
it in a magazine or journal.

I don't think the fight is over yet.
