This seems to be a personal attack. 

But in anycase, I have demonstrated the math governing the size of the
attack, and the math proves that there is no size difference (the key
factor) between attacks using authority and attacks using recursive
servers.

In contrast, the proponents have made the completely unfounded assertion
that there _is_ a difference in the attacks conducted using authority
servers as contrasted with those conducted using recursive servers, but
they have not shown any reason whatsoever why they are different.

It seems to me that repeating assertions without any foundation
whatsoever seems to be more aptly describable as "incorrigible".
