Because you were not querying the authoritative server, you where querying the recursive server in the screen shots. When you queried the authoritative server (see dns-authoritative-question.md) you got AA in the response. The answers from the recursive server: ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 vs the answers from the authoritative server: ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 > On my screenshots, where do you see negative answers ?
