Time for some remedial lessons in basic thinking:

Simon's logic is:

         1.  The POC chose not to get involved in a topic.

         2.  Therefore the POC is claimed to have made "a collective policy 
decision to accept pre-sold domain names".

Try to imagine logic lessons in early math classes, and then try to imagine 
passing the course with this sort of sloppy analysis.
