That's a strong statement about IPv6, is there an article or paper you are referring to?

  Not really. Just personal experience. And I think that's the key point here - coming up with a design that is fit for the world (wide web), and not just academically viable. I suppose the evidence I would give to back up my statement is that if it was well designed, it would have been adopted. As it stands, I only find it is supported among the more distinguished services that I use.

    There's a difference between "poor design" and "difficult to adopt", and I think confounding the two doesn't make sense. For another example, Python 3 has much better design than Python 2, and the difficult adoption a result of having people fix what they had written using the poor Python 2 design, and making it easier to adopt would have meant preserving the poor choices. I don't know enough about IPv4 vs IPv6 to make a judgment in this particular case, but I don't think your argument broadly in itself here follows.
