If there's no central control in the center, then there's no central
control, is there? What's your argument?

The IETF attempts to perform engineering in the L3-L7 space. When you can
define your problem as something which can be solved using engineering
rather than rhetoric, then it may qualify.

If you were able to use Google, you'd be able to observe that, far from
shooting it down, it's what I've been _doing_ for the past fifteen years.
If you were able to do basic arithmetic, you'd be able to observe that
what you claim to want isn't feasible within the bounds of physics as
currently understood.
If you want to understand physics differently, there are drugs for that,
you don't need to come to the IETF.
