You'll have to judge for yourself whether this demonstrates deep understanding of both arguments, but I did try to be evenhanded in these posts:

From my perspective, the challenge with DNSSEC is that it just doesn't have a very good cost/benefit ratio. Once the WebPKI exists, "critical path" use of DNSSEC only offers modest value. Now, obviously, this article is about requiring CAs to check DNSSEC, which is out of the critical path and of some value, but it's not clear to me it's of enough value to get people to actually roll out DNSSEC.
