Some people are there to make us question and test our understanding.
One place that TCP may make sense - if you are involved in a registry
system and the process involves actually checking the information that
you are given, including nameservers (do they exist, do they serve that
zone - correctly?) - it may make a lot of sense to do TCP Digs for the
information (though that should probably be after a failed UDP dig - as
a number of people do insist on disallowing Port 53 TCP).
