Limit each prospective registry to a single TLD to start, and that set
drops down to below 15. Most likely below 10.

Wrong. The set of claims includes all developed registries which also
exist on IANA's list of applications, a list which was SOLICITED BY
JON POSTEL. The "IAHC 7" (why do you say 6, I wonder?) were
never even applied-for on that list.

This is your fantasy. Reality bites.

If you don't agree with the argument, discount the motives of the opponent.
At least one thing in this whole debate is transparent.
