I got your point. What I was saying is that what he calls EDoS (and I'm sure he'll say obliterating infrastructure is the ultimate form of an economic dos) is just what goes on ... You may or may not be able to overload the AWS infrastructure by too many queries but you sure as hell will blow the application out if that ddos isnt filtered .. edos again.

eh.. I guess I'm splitting hairs. the goal of 100k bots sending 1 query per second to a service that you know can only sustain 50k queries/second is.. not to economically Dos someone, it's to obliterate their service infrastructure. Sure, you could ALSO target something hosted (for instance) at Amazon-AWS and increase costs by making lots and lots and lots of queries, but that wasn't the point of what Deepak wrote, nor what i corrected.
