Here's my take:

The domain aftermarket has a big problem... it exists. This market shouldn't ever be allowed to exist in the first place. ICANN should've blocked this bullshit a long time ago and forced registrars to just let domains expire and free the space. Also add a few provisions about unused domain names and about selling them.

While you're technically correct (the best kind) I'd still argue that the subset of finite addresses that are human readable and relayable is significantly smaller. If you disagree just fill out a form on my website:

Sure and I know that you meant. But I also think that with a little creativity and compromise it’s also not difficult at all to get something that’s not that long and also easily said.
