You still don't have the facts correct. Jon Postel's action did not
disrupt any Internet traffic at all. It did not and it could not.
Nor was it an action by Jon Postel alone. It was an action between
most of the root server operators and only concerned the path
in which the root zone file is copied to the various root servers.

Werner
