Similar comments must have been made about TLDs, and the hosts file
before that (they were right for the host files), but I wasn't around
back then.

That, in itself, would be a comment.  "In our humble opinion, the
report you commissioned is not adequate technical input for future
policy discussions, and will likely lead to wrong conclusions" doesn't
read very nice, but it's certainly a message the WG should send if it
reaches consensus on it.

(Disclaimer: I haven't read the report, and your list of conflated
issues doesn't make me want to.)
