You are taking me out of context, the intention was to make his
statement less abstract because he never made any frame reference as
what success could be measured by at all.

Ok, so I'll turn this round and ask you, in your opinion is there any
frame of reference that could be used based on his original statement
that e164.arpa wasn't a success without comparing it?

If it is or isn't, what frame of reference would you use to make the
claim one way or the other?

Some made the claim years ago that IPv6 was a success. It's now years
later and I believe none of the fortune 500 companies have AAAA records
on their main website addresses, but that is only one way to judge
success and another would be the number of subnets actively seen in BGP
tables, or actively seen by some stats company.

I would like your opinion on this, hopefully this isn't taken in a
facetious way like my last.
