[dns-operations] Can Root DNS server modify the response?

What I meant up that is that no authority operator can modify the root name space quietly. Anyone doing it will be outed here and possibly also in the press. Dnssec does not have to be seen by a stub in order to function as a canary. 

There was and remains no reason to think cloud flare would publish modified data. But if that somehow happened, there would be near instant awareness, and near global blowback. 

This may be the greatest value Dnssec yet provided to the world: assurance.
