That assumes that an attacker in the middle has not removed the answer. The 
indicator that we used as an initial idea for the capability would be signed, 
meaning that the resolver would expect a client subnet response and could act 
if it didn't get one. This is one of the reasons we chose using an RRtype over 
using EDNS0 for the capabilities (also: it is cacheable). Others seem to not 
want those features for capabilities.
