I understand that, but I can't just "jump to the end of the chain".  
It's easy to decide that "in your head" and to see it logically, but  
programatically, I am given "wirralnews.com". How can I tell WHO to  
query? I ask the root servers. They give me some NS servers as a  
starting point. But, I still have to ask THEM who the authoritative  
servers are first. After all, maybe I've subdelegated the domain to  
someone else, it's been known to happen.

And if THOSE servers tell me "there are no NS servers, sir", then I  
have to believe them.

Again, if I had a bogusNS zone, this would be a fine fine addition to  
it.
