How does DNS work in the real world?

OK, I understand how the browsers DNS lookups might in theory help form some kind of clue.

Now my recollection of how DNS works in the real world is that there's potentially quite a lot of caching between me and (e.g.) my ISP's DNS server (assuming that's the one I use). So 'my' DNS lookups visible to the outside workl at my ISP may or may not match the DNS lookups in an uncached world.

I'm ignoring the possibility that someone's been bodging about with DNS-related stuff I nominally control. If they can do that they likely have easier and more effective ways of snooping on me than this idea.

[And then for a different approach to killing this idea, e,g, by data poisoning, there's stuff like Trackmenot or logical successors].

What's wrong here? The 'research'? The article? My limited understanding of DNS?

[edit: big_D seemingly has a similar train of thought at the same time as me]
