Naive or not, that's besides the point. They key to what Richard said is that thankfully, we receive a recorded "error message" when we dial a wrong number. The same should be for DNS. In a very crude, cave man (or cave bear [cavebear.com]) sort of way, it makes sense to compare DNS to a telephone system. When you type in a domain name, your browser crunches a few things very rapidly by processing your "call" for the number associated with a name to one of the thirteen geographically located root servers. Either operator A through M respond, and provide the correct number, and the user's request is processed. It's really quite simple, again, in a crude way. :)
Cheers,
