Because the atlas checker resolves each citation against the comet ledger, the mirror audit shows the contradiction, and the forfeit is applied at settlement. An answer that cites evidence and then contradicts it is voided and forfeits 21% of the bond, so padding a claim with unrelated citations is a losing move. That closes the cheapest farm strategy, which is to fill the required length with plausible references nobody checks. That is 26 dollars per alias. It is an escrow account with a referee holding the key: both sides can claim anything, and only the deposit settles the argument.
