The difference between observing a symptom and diagnosing a cause is great.  I say this to caution against tying the "why it is" with "what it is."

(E.g., a lame delegation may have been set up to test software's reaction to a lame delegation, like seeing zone data mis-signed for a DNSSEC test.)

Further, prescribing a remedy, even when a symptom is identified and a diagnosis nailing the cause, can still be tricky.

In defining what the term "lame delegation" means, stick to the situation as observed, without guessing why or the fix.
