Really ? You don't think a good AD should primarily look for factual evidence
(lab, simulation, interop, ..) results produced by others to judge whether
sufficient work was done to proof that the known entry critera are met 
(like no congestion cllapse) - instead of trying to judge those solely
by himself/herself ? 

How do you judge the evidence without understanding it?
(E,g,. I wouldn't want an AD taking in lab/simulation/interop input as "factual 
evidence"...
I also wouldn't want an AD to wait for "proof" of anything in this space.)

PS.: I just spent a day at CeBIT.  One guy there reported to that he has seen 
35000 active devices on his WiFi snooper.
I'm not quite sure what that means, but he seemed to be implying "at a specific 
point in time".
Go congestion control that.  And then "prove" that your solution works.
Somehow, we still seem to be deploying WiFi, nonetheless, and some even 
consider WiFi a success.
Would your hypothetical AD waiting for "sufficient work was done" have approved 
WiFi?  In 1998?
