The reason this example is naive (well, you asked :-)
is when DNSSEC is used the client might have a trust relationship with
a particular DNS server (aka recursive resolver) and a secure channel
to that resolver. In that case you clearly don't want to replace
that manually configured DNS server with the ones the DHCP server tells
you to use.

But if the client itself does DNSSEC signature validation it would
presumably use the best-performing server.
