This is a very simple argument.
The group that wants to provide "service" wants access to all customer
domains.
The group that wants to insure "safety" wants only the customer to access
their info.
The "pro service" group says "the customer doesn't want to deal with this" --
and they're right.
The "pro safety" group says "not all RSPs can be trusted" and given the
number of RSPs they are also right.
Something over 95% of our customer base doesn't even want to know how to fill
out the forms. That's why we get the big bucks (okay, sometimes small
bucks).

your analogy to food and gas is 99.99999% wrong. Additionally, yu are
again wrong about using false credit cards to travel. I doubt it you will
be able to fly American Airlines if you used bogus credit crads to buy
the ticket, at best, instead of an airplane you will have cops waiting
for you on Gate 1!!! Can you buy a house with fake credit cards and keep
it? How about a computer? What about a webhosting plan from company
ABC? You better have answered "NO"! A domain name is not any different
from a webhosting package, a computer part or a company car.

There _is_ one major difference between a webhosting package, a computer
part, or a company car verses a domain name. A domain name is
unique. If you lose a webhosting package, you can easily get another
one. Same thing with a computer part, or a company car. With a domain
name, only one person or entity can own a single domain name. This would
be more akin to allowing a webhosting company to take the copyright on
your web page if you fail to pay for your webhosting package.
