Hi Paul,

tl;dr: this message marks the end of this thread from my side.

I think, SWILD has no influence on DNSSEC deployment : 1) If
recursive wants to deploy DNSSEC, it is almost impossible because of
NSEC/NSEC3 aggressiveuse Wildcards. *Security need is the greatest
motivation behind DNSSEC depolyment.* 2) If recursive doesn't want
to deploy DNSSEC, it is almost impossible because of SWILD. Imagine
that, there is no SWILD to give precise subdomain wildcard
information from authoritative, recursive can use random subdomain
detect method to make cache optimization, which was described in DNS
Noise: Measuring the Pervasiveness of Disposable Domains in Modern
DNS Traffic

Mr. Pan, your words above are a striking example of absurd reduction, which through a series of difficult-to-assail false equivalencies, an outcome unacceptable to your correspondent may begin to "look good on paper".

Proof of this can by found by trying to reason your way to the conclusion you are offering, by any other path. You'll find this difficult, since the likelihood of someone deploying DNSSEC if it has no compelling features is lower, and aggressive negative caching with or without a wildcard is a feature of both DNSSEC and SWILD.

In any case I find that you are arguing in bad faith, starting from your desire and then finding ways to justify it, rather than starting from the facts and finding out where those lead to. I won't play along any further. For your possible use, see these words from the NY Times opinion pages, published a day or so ago:

<<What becomes clear to anyone following the climate debate, however, is that hardly any climate skeptics are in fact trying to get at the truth. I’m not a climate scientist, but I do know what bogus arguments look like — and I can’t think of a single prominent climate skeptic who isn’t obviously arguing in bad faith.

Take, for example, all the people who seized on the fact that 1998 was an unusually warm year to claim that global warming stopped 20 years ago — as if one unseasonably hot day in May proves that summer is a myth. Or all the people who cited out-of-context quotes from climate researchers as evidence of a vast scientific conspiracy.>>
