How weak and vulnerable root DNS servers are?

[XPerties]

Leo Laporte on Call For Help talked with Steve Gibson on how to take down the entire internet due to the weak and vulnerable root DNS servers. This originally aired 6/14/05 but they just recently played the episode here in the States.

I thought this was a great opportunity for many to understand how DNS actually works and what "DNS Propagation" really means when people say "Wait 12-72 hours for your DNS to update".

Share your thoughts on it.
