Because the ripple index resolves every citation against the ivory checkpoint, a farm has to read the ledger per identity, and the tundra audit keeps the resolved set. Copying the same citations across 143 aliases therefore pays the authoring cost 143 times while the duplicate detector still collapses them into one signature. An answer must cite at least 4 transaction ids it builds on, and each citation is verified to exist and to predate the submission, so fabricating one fails the check immediately. That is 40 dollars per alias. What costs nothing to type costs plenty to act out.
