I think in the outside world you'll find very little support for an argument that filtering DNS is fundamentally broken.
Well, it is certainly trivial to bypass. Therefore it is a fantastic tools for tyrants and other fuckwads -- just as long as they think they are being effective, who really gives a rats ass.
Sure, you can do it in broken ways, but it's going to be really hard to persuade anyone that their lives are better if they have unfiltered access to the malware links in their spam.
Having unfiltered access to the malware installed by links in spam is a self-limiting problem. Remove the DNS blocks and in rather short order the problem will go away as all the idiots click their way to oblivion. -- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.
