The study seems flawed to me.  

1. Why if it has to do with Port 43 are unreachable websites considered a fail?  That would make sense for web-based Whois, but not for Port 43.

2. Why is rate-limiting considered a fail?  This is put in place by responsible registrars to prevent scraping of Whois data by spammers.
