I am simply not going to respond to accusations that I am arguing in bad faith and gaslighting. Please do better.

  "DNS names aren't supposed to be secret" is not a good faith argument. It's not your argument: it is a popular trope of DNSSEC advocates. I don't mean to imply anything about you personally --- you're an anonymous abstraction to me, so there's nothing I could reasonably say about you as a person. But the argument you're making is what it is, and I've characterized it, I believe, accurately. Later I edited this slightly to make clear that I'm characterizing a trope, not an HN thread.

    > "DNS names aren't supposed to be secret" is not a good faith argument. Yes it is. Here I am, making it. It’s not even about DNSSEC; it has been the truth ever since the DNS itself was designed. Having secret data in DNS is doomed to fail in any number of ways, since DNS was never designed for it. And you can’t get away with claiming “Oh, I wasn’t calling you a bad faith gaslighter, only other people. Who are making the same argument as you. And I am saying this in a reply to your comment for no reason in particular.” Since you are, incredibly, doubling down on calling my argument a bad faith argument (instead of responding to it), I have no recourse but to leave it at that.

      I'm comfortable with the thread as it stands as well.
