Sure.  And TTL stretching assumes the content owner is a fellow victim,
and someone is trying to hurt both of us by making their site inaccessible
to me.  Both are lies; both have a defensible moral justification.

The line between attack and not-attack can be surprisingly blurry.  But
given that there are non-malevolent reasons for wanting to serve stale
data, and solutions are being implemented (including one in BIND), I'm
okay with publishing details of the method, same as with RPZ.
