Why do things seem to focus on the encryption of DNS traffic and ignore 
authentication of the information?

I'm sure that all of us are aware that it's perfectly possible for a DoT 
/ DoH server to send bogus information through the encryption.

In some ways, advocating for encryption without authentication is akin 
to advocating for self-signed TLS certificates for web-sites.  Anybody 
can monkey in the middle the traffic if they want to.

I've not read any of the cited articles yet, but I assume DNS w/ DNSSEC 
through VPN isn't mentioned.
