Experiments may show that in some tested cases they aren’t, but in the big picture, yes, there are ISPs who are 
internally capturing 8.8.8.8, and who try to do the same with 9.9.9.9.  Which is why it’s so important to do 
cryptographic validation of the server and encryption of the transport, as well as DNSSEC validation.
