Everything is. :)

So you are questioning the "type delegation-only" functionality? Then
it's a wrong address, stupidity will always be the biggest problem in
the universe.

However, Verisign hijacking "com" and "net" made few things clear. Most
important: these domains are public, not theirs, hence they should not
do arbitrary changes to them. Marking "com" and "net" as delegation-only
is not harming anything. (At least until ICANN changes its mind.)
