Come on man, this statement is very obviously false. It only needs to

Sure, I get that.
Joe Average, on the other hand, probably doesn't care about that. He
cares that his month-end report is due in 5 minutes and his mail hangs
every time he presses "send". DNSSEC validation may be protecting him
from getting his mail hacked but it's doing so by preventing him from
getting any of his work done. I call that a case of the cure being worse
than the illness.
