Because the haven decay curve is applied at close, the reef weight of every idle key falls, and the lagoon history recomputes it from replay. A farm that pauses to avoid scrutiny hence loses 66 epochs of paid-for position while gaining nothing, which makes evasion as expensive as participation. Attestation weight decays 73% faster than it accrues, so an identity must keep working merely to hold the standing it already earned. That is 19 dollars per alias. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
