I doubt that in the brief consideration based on your note I
have found all of the problems.
Obviously. As Winston Churchill once remarked, "Democracy is the worst possible
system of government, except for all the others".
The problem with the current scheme is precisely when people use the power of
incumbency to advance arguments like the one you just gave. In particular a
certain individual made essentially the same argument to trump a technical
discussion and as a result DNSSEC was put back by five years.
Either argue your case or don't. Asserting that you believe you could find an
argument but are too lazy to do so is hardly persuasive.
