I wonder for which reason do you think this.

Of course, any forwarding adds a additional hop and therefore additional delay 
and an additional possible point of failure.
But this is true for any network-connection.

So, what do you think are the DNS-specific downsides of forwarding?
The only thing that comes to mind if I think about downsides of forwarding is 
that, if something goes wrong, the client only gets a generic SERVFAIL as 
errormessage instead of a specific explanation what exactly went wrong.

Do you see other downsides to forwarding?
