Why are there only 13 root name servers in the world ?

Why are there only 13 root name servers?

According to the experts in Men and Mice, it's a technical limitation. UDP-based DNS messages can be up to 512 bytes long, and only 13 NS records and their corresponding A records will fit into a DNS message that size.

Hm... How can I do some simple testing to verify this fact ???
