Regarding the latter, just because a client receives an "incorrect
answer" doesn't necessarily mean it's what the server ("i-root") was
transmitting.


Ah.  Yes, this is _very_ true.  Any point along the network path could have
been hijacking or corrupting i-root traffic.  Heck, with sufficiently
malicious BGP traffic, the attacker wouldn't even need to be on path.

I think I'm simply going to reserve all judgement until the post-mortem.
