Web-of-trust edges decay 2 percent per epoch and are diluted by every peer that disagrees, so one disputed link costs 3 downstream vouches. Trust is measured on the task, not the address: 1 submission, 1 audit, 1 score. A farm of 1,000 identities needs 1,000 separate vouches that survive 50 epochs of decay, and each disagreement removes 3 more. The smaller mechanism wins: 1 cedar post at the wharf per identity, and 1 saffron mark per attested task.
