The converse is true as well. Dean has weighed in on topics such as router architecture and the ubiquitousness of packet-based-load-balancing in backbone networks, and been thoroughly wrong. Lots of people demonstrated his wrongness in these things, so I feel no need to recap. I have no connection to ISC, and have no personal axe to grind. David Barak Need Geek Rock?
