As a matter of fact, there is a non-zero chance in this sort of description that they'll end up running more than one resolver, chained to one another. But before answering this entirely fictitious case, I'd like to know how to operationalize "average IT talents" and "average large ISP". For instance, in the deep past I worked with some average IT grunts who were perfectly capable of this & understood the pitfalls. I also worked with some who couldn't spell DNS. And of course, if the "average large ISP" is Comcast, it seems to me the answer is pretty clear. If, on the other hand, it's (say) a certain large red-coloured Canadian ISP, I think the answer would be equally clear, though different.
