Your claim is false, and you know it.

You are welcome to disagree with technical assessments and you are welcome
to note where there are differences among knowledgeable technicians.

However you are not free to ignore years of carefully offered opinions from
a range of competent technicians who offer assessments you do not like.

- The technical community is quite clear that BIND can handle lots of TLDs.

- The technical is reasonably clear that an operational DNS server can
  handle traffic attendant with quite a few TLDs, though there is some debate
  about how many

- Unlike you, the technical community also understands that registlration
  and operations administration have technical components and the scaling
  effects of large numbers of gTLDs -- given that ccTLDs are subject to
  different handling -- is not well-understood.
