Huh??? I missed that somewhere.  The previous paragraph is:

Falsehood
Uncertainty
Doubt

Contrary evidence:

http://www.tunnelbroker.net (yes, I work there, but, you don't have to work there
to get a /48 for free).

Again, conclusions not in evidence.  It's easy for anyone who wants it to

but, overall, I'm doing OK with tunnels of various forms and native will
be coming along shortly in many many more places.
