My objection is your choosing to build mechanisms that force us to make sure your "we" can "continue to ratchet security" instead of building mechanics that distribute trust and enforce it technology.
I don't care if you write 100,000 or 1,000,000 words: there's nothing wrong with DNSSEC or security that rides on it in principle except that it distributes trust decisions that have been centralized in those objecting to DNSSEC.
It is very bad for the internet to depend for its security on a tiny number of individuals to make global judgements about who's a bad actor.
Your counterproposal is simply to expand the number of individuals who get to make those global judgements!
