	Standard is sometimes the enemy of better, and in the case where 
"there can be only one", it takes a very, very strong argument to be 
able to unseat the current standard.


	With regards to proving extraterrestrial life, Carl Sagan once 
made the famous statement "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary 
proof".  So it is with things like running root nameservers on the 
Internet.

	That's life.  Get over it.
