Seems to me that duplication at any level is the same.

Conflict and different answers cause problems regardless of the level,
1st, 2nd, 3rd,etc.

It's not a distributed root, its a conflicting root.  Running your own
local root is not a conflicting root, since it would return the proper
answer, even for the . SOA record.   Running a root that returns
different responses is duplication.

The root that ICANN now effectively controls was there first.  Hence
anything that comes along afterwards is a collider.
