Clearly there is plenty of DDOS capacity out there so your argument is invalid. One ten millionth of the current traffic would be enough to bring a small blog or service down. Also if you aren’t practiced at diagnosing a DDOS or if your monitoring is not tuned for it, diagnosing it can be supremely difficult. Answering as someone who has successfully diagnosed ddos at 11pm on a Sunday night without access to the logs or monitors (mostly because the necessary monitoring did not exist) And I could only do that because I had a decade of experience and I had the clarity of emotional distance (not my site, not my server, not my fault).
