If you'd like to unify something, perhaps it could be DNS client behaviour

and the 500X load 10 years later is due to client stupidity, not population
growth or backbone speed increases.
Not completely due to client stupidity,

it is however a factor :)
If you would have even read the CAIDA article you would know why AS112
has been built and that misconfigured _clients_ perform the queries.
Also if clients would be using local ISP supplied DNS caches, that would
be correctly configured there would be a lot less of a problem.
Adding your .god/satan and whatever tld you are trying to advertise
won't help at all with the fact that clients are trying to get the
RFC1918 and other reverses from the root servers which simply do not
exist. That the register even took the article just tells something
about their quality, having over 70% advertisement in a 'article'...
FYI read up on:
