This argument is pointless. It's too circular.
The point is that new.net is aggressively going after more visibility
(and adds to it every month in large numbers so far).
The point is that in order to do that, new.net needs a site visible to
those who can't view them.
Your argument is does not really have much merit.
The means to access the domains they market is there for over
53,000,000 internet users. So the means to access it already exists.
But that doesn't mean that it is inappropriate for new.net to maintain
a site under .net. As long as there are users (even a small number)
who can't see new.net's TLDs it is appropriate for them to continue to
operate there.
