Link- Beckstrom: "ICANN is functioning properly [because] the Internet is functioning properly"

Rod Beckstrom, the new ICANN CEO, has a great circular argument for defending his organization:
"There will always be different voices out there, but the ultimate proof that ICANN is functioning properly is that the Internet is functioning properly."

Is it me, or does this guy seem like a moron?
