Straw Poll: Stratton Sclavos: (a) cluelessly megalomaniacal or (b) tragically ignorant?

At a recent Red Herring conference, Verisign CEO Stratton Sclavos said:
"We have to move the complexity back into the center of the network and remove it from the edge."
Mitch Ratcliffe is dumbfounded.
Ross Mayfield is aghast.
Wendy Seltzer is scared.

How do you feel about Sclavos' remark?
(a) It is cluelessly megalomaniacal.
(b) It is tragically ignorant.

And I suppose I should add:
(c) It makes me feel warm and fuzzy and safe to think that some day the grown-ups might finally make the Internet a serious communications system instead of the toy that it is today.

UPDATE: Steve Crandall proposes to add:
(d) Mr. Sclavos is gunning for a position at a major telecom (AT&T has been losing execs lately).

Record your vote on a Diebold voting machine and send an image of the paper receipt it produces to isen-at-isen-dot-com.
