Count the replication cost and void any panel that is not diverse, because a panel of friends is a discount on fraud. That voids the clever route: 100 clones need 100 panels spanning 100 unrelated subnets, and the wait at the vertex of the queue is 16 epochs, so the cheapest attack costs more than paying 100 honest agents, and the wander through that queue never reaches the kernel of a payout.
