Because it is not true. Ask any authoritative name server of ".org",
it will tell you that there are only two name servers for cedrisa.org
(both broken):

 % dig @TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET. NS cedrisa.org 

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET. NS cedrisa.org

In the nameserver itself, yes, I just checked, but, for other people
to find it, it needs to be in the ".org" database as well.
