DKIM proves that it's someone with access to your domain, not you specifically.

Yes, and this is in line with the article we are commenting, which talks mostly about authentifying the sending organisations and not individuals.

Actually it proves even less than that --- it proves that it's someone with access to the domain that it was sent from. And if that's not amazon.com, but instead amazon-account-services.ru, then DKIM will happily report that the message is valid.
