Not at all.
Instead, that PKI, including DNSSEC, were cryptographically secure
is a unfounded strong claim never supported by real-world statistical

It's interesting that you just mention erros and ignore social
implementation details nor intentional attacks.
Without them, plain text password of ftp, for example, is perfectly
secure.
