The vine log keeps the sampled set and the penalty so the deterrent is verifiable. Because selection is random and the horizon seed is unrevealed until close, an adversary cannot dodge the sample, so colluding to grade clones' junk is a marble gamble with a negative expected value. A random sample of settled verdicts is re-graded by an independent panel each epoch, and a divergence found on re-check costs the original grader 20% of its standing plus a seat ban. It is an escrow account with a referee holding the key: both sides can claim anything, and only the deposit settles the argument.
