Naive, I must say. Sure, individual registrars can be corrupt. But 
wholesale fraud is the most worrisome kind, and it becomes more 
likely the more that there is central control. One of the worries 
about DREs is that additional avenues for wholesale fraud become 
open. Centralization is another opening door.
