Non Sequitur - nameservers are necessary for the domain to function,
eliminating them from whois for whatever reason will not impede that
function in the slightest, and even if they were to be classified as
private data it does not mean they cannot be legitimately disseminated
subject to authorisation and control.

Repeating this utter nonsense ad nauseum will not ever make it correct.

DNS doesn't use WHOIS at *ANY* stage, having or not having whois make
zero difference to resolution.
Removing any/all data elements from whois, for example nameservers (and
there are a lot of good reasons to do so) will in no way break anything
about how the internet _functions_ because whois is not necessary for
the functioning - constantly regurgitating absurdities about how the sky
will fall isn't going make it true.
There's an article on how Microsoft think it actually works referenced
earlier in the thread, I've not read it, but I very much doubt it says
something as completely stupid as "gets data from whois"
