I said that I prefer an lottery associated with an auction; I didn't say that I prefer an auction alone.
I agree with you that there are problems with naked auctions (er, when the auction is naked not the participants) especially since there are still a lot of folks who want TLDs of their own (many of the Fortune 1000 would, for example, want to elevate their names, like "ibm.com" out of .com and right up to the top.)
I outlined many of the reasons why I want a lottery for a good chunk of TLD slots - see my blog entry Why Lotteries Are Better Than Auctions When Distributing New TLD Slots [cavebear.com] Since that time I have realized that lotteries alone or any other form of socially engineered method is probably going to have to be only a partial answer, hence my feeling now that we need to open some TLD slots via lotter and some by auction.
