   If you’re writing that then I don’t think you understood my point.   
      
   The problem people actually have is exchanging information with websites   
   without anyone else being able to read or modify that data.   
      
   DNSSEC on its own obviously can’t solve that.   
      
   DNS + TLS does solve it, sufficiently well. (Using TLS to include   
   Internet PKI.)   
      
   DNSSEC + TLS would also solve it, but why would someone bother with   
   DNSSEC when DNS+TLS is good enough for their needs?
