when patrick is referring to "taking their word for it", he's referring to a post on outages@ by godaddy's network engineering manager that stated "bgp, and more details to follow".
"more" is the operating word here.
i tend to align with patrick's thought. i'm also interested to see the details, which they are really under no obligation to provide.
They could have said unspecified/yet-to-be-investigated internal technical failure(s). But when they quoted an specific failure, their communication(the PR, not the outages@ report) was trying to benefit from being specific, which is known to gain more trust. That comes with a responsibility to be precise and opens it to scrutiny by the technical community. Rubens
