conjecture: the dominant *legitimate* use of whois today has not been
mentioned.

nerd logic:
  o spam scrapers are not counted, as they are not legitimate in my book
  o other uses of domain and addres whois lookup are not automated
  o the one big automated use is router config builds using the routing
    registries
