Yes, but TFA had the context of future actions and things that you could do to prevent collateral damage from this kind of block. It would have been a stronger argument to acknowledge that IPv6 would do the trick if it were ever to be fully adopted, strong emphasis on the if. I go into some specifics that bothered me in a sibling comment.

Im having a hard time believing it was an editing mistake or clouded thinking because the IPv4 vs IPv6 thing is entwined through the length of TFA. Not that I think they have some nefarious agenda, if I had to guess it reads like they already knew what conclusion they wanted to reach and had a deadline. Which is still dishonest.

Still, if it didn’t read like there was a glaring admission to you then I am glad of it. I would rather be wrong about that kind of thing anyway.
