<http://public-root.com/tlds.htm> makes it very clear that this set 
of root-like servers intends to answer affirmatively and 
authoritatively for TLDs that the real/generally-accepted root 
servers would say do not exist. From the material on that page, it is 
also likely that, in the future, the NS records returned by these 
root-like servers for some TLDs will be different than those returned 
by the real/generally-accepted root servers.

In other words, the statement "the Public-Root is not an alternative 
root but a solution" seems dishonest  when one reads the material at 
the site describing the service.
