Most of what I have read on this subject is personal opinion, as there
is no hard data (we don't have hundreds of thousands of TLDs now), nor
have there been simulations, as far as I know.

I happen to agree with the opinions expressed by Keith Moore, as they
match with my experience.

But even you would have to admit that by adding lots of TLDs, extra
orders of magnitude are induced in the DNS process, because queries
are going further up the tree than they would otherwise be.
