That is a fairy tale once believed by so many infants who
thought dual stack were enough.

They still believed the fairy tale even when they designed
automated tunneling.

But, as most of them have grown up a little not to believe
fairly tales, they are trying other possibilities.

However, so far, they are not so successful.

Rest of his response is omitted, because I think it is
not worth quoting.
