I'm saying that the world's malware authors, in their race to stay
ahead of AV, are engaging in an uncoordinated, slow-motion DDOS of
the world's AV systems.  They are flooding the blacklists, and this
flooding is accelerating.  If it continues, the world's AV systems
will be useless, as will be the machines they are protecting.

You are extrapolating, based on an incorrect assumption - that
blacklists will exist forever.
When the number of bad files exceeds the number of good files, then
whitelists will reign instead.
