Assuming in future when you try to resolve ftp.internic.net, you get the result via real root name servers and thus you can trust ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.cache by itself. DNS works at the thin edge of trust, as the article tried to emphasize. Root name servers are the pivots for the Internet infrastructure, that we don't realize in our day to day activities. Any damage there is always catastrophic that had been proven in the past. The article emphasized what could go wrong, without knowing you and me for months.
Good to see that everybody is agreeing on Google. Having a big collection means nothing, but having a quality collection is what everybody wants. Google combines similar pages (but still gives an option if you are bored enough and wants to visit all those pages). Searches are more directed and useful atleast in my case as compared to alltheweb.
Go Google!!
