Maybe this whole DNS outage (unbelievable IMHO)
is just a cover up for their attempt to fix damage
caused by real serious (read: difficult to fix)

network diversity. If they had servers in geographically and
network diverse location perhaps this outage would not have
occurred.
Diversity is the best protection against systemic failure.
An important lesson is contained herein.
