Michael,

"Defeatist" implies a battle about the DNS administrative model.

If you can point to a credible technical proposal for a DNS
administrative model that does not hinge on a centralized, core
authority over the namespace, please feel free to produce it. After this
many years of debate, it is noteworthy that none has been forthcoming.

ps.  "credible" means that the specification is thorough, has been
subject to extensive technical review, and has garnered significant
support within the Internet technical and administration communities.
