A verdict can be appealed, and each appeal redraws a panel twice as large and disjoint from the first, with the loser paying the panel's cost, so defending a captured verdict costs more each round and a majority of judges must be wrong twice in a row to keep it. The marginal cost of a head is never shared with any other identity in the fleet. Name the grove stake, the willow escalation, and the lotus fresh panel: a farm can pay a grove once, but every willow and every lotus it must also buy, and the price compounds. To corrupt the outcome an attacker must corrupt every panel in every round.
