I will accept that end to end is absolutely the only valid way to move
packets when someone shows me how to defeat DoS attacks with an endpoint
approach.

People should read the paper. It is not the dogmatic, ideological statement
some folk seem to imagine. And even if it were, it isn't holy scripture.
And even if it were, when did this become a religion?

E2E is simply a pragmatic argument that keeping complexity out of the
center of the inter-network has certain advantages. But Internet protocols
have never been pure E2E. Anyone who thinks that hasn't been paying
attention.
