Right, but the important question is whether the

The value of reducing domain spoofing is presuppositional and
entirely self-evident. To continually question whether there is
value in detecting falsehood seems more a question for philosophy
rather than engineering. I think it's a distraction that we should
just dismiss.
I do not agree. Since the concept of email sender authentication has
been in the mainstream, critics have always suggested that spammers
will simply just buy another domain. Therefore, it does not seem
evident to many people. And I think this is the root of the
disagreement here.
Please do not take this as a voice against going forward with DKIM.
