If I read the above exchange correctly, Eliot Lear points out that it is difficult to observe what's going on all over the Internet, on the premise that the Internet is a bunch of interconnected networks and you can't be sure that you've actually observed all of those networks (some of which might be closed to you). In response, Mykyta Yevstifeyev says, "Oh, that's not hard. People at the IETF know." This has no supporting argument for it at all. I would like to suggest that the former position is the better one to take.
