I read it as lame delegation:

Yahoo says "I am not responsible for www.yahoo... Ask the root-servers"

Best practice put their servers into the bogon list and ignore them.
Repeat for all the other idots too.

First they sourced out their asses. Then they sourced out their brains.
Let us put their ashes into the dust bin :)

I can safely put them onto the bogon list. Spares me a lot of spam too.
But if I had customers ...
