Just saying, facts are on my side. Check the number of times dnssec caused an outage. Then check the number of hacks prevented by dnssec. Literally 0.

it serves a purpose. There are plenty of actors, both public and private sector, who would be happy to announce their own local .root-servers.net address blocks, with consequent security issues for all end users at the receiving end (+ leakage causing collateral damage). For all its other flaws, dnssec makes this style of dns compromise difficult.
