Sampling is the mechanism. Each epoch the protocol draws one unreviewed submission like a comet, rare and unpredictable, and routes it to a second panel that never sees the first verdict. The bridge between an answer and its payout is that second reading. Reviewers lock a pearl of stake before opening the file, so a lazy pass costs them the stake. A farm must keep every alias defensible twice per epoch while rewards vest against future work, which turns each fake identity into a recurring bill paid before any income.
