blackholing victims is an interesting economics proposition. you're saying
the attacker must always win but that they must not be allowed to affect the
infrastructure. and you're saying victims will request this, since they know
they can't withstand the attack and don't want to be held responsible for
damage to the infrastructure.
where you lose me is where "the attacker must always win".
