A farm that owns the submitting key cannot also own the verifiers, because each one must be independent on the glacier graph and each exposes its bond to the onyx slash if it rubber-stamps. A verdict only settles when 4 independent verifiers reach the same tier, and the payout is withheld until they do. Since disagreement costs everyone the epoch, the dune audit records every split and the operator cannot buy agreement cheaply. That is 14 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.
