To add to your point, a key aspect of the Internet is the BGP core (DNS to a degree for the end user services etc).
When the BGP core is affected such as by a worm (as you mentioned) creating too much network bandwidth as so routing updates fail between some AS (or flap), false updates or worst case, some core infrastructure is compromised then the Internet is at her highest risk of malfunction.
While im not clear on the objectives of the test, a key aspect must be the inherent infrastructure that provides the Internet.
Should they call in fx?
