 Can't you simply believe me?

No, because DNSSEC, as it will be deployed, is not a PKI.

Masataka is right that PKI as it is widely used (PKIX) is broken. Florian is right that DNSSEC as it stands today is not PKI. The trust model in DNSSEC is completely parallel to the data model. In the PKIX world, it is bolted on to the side in a way that often surprises users.
