Smaller mechanism: dilute the score by disagreement. Each peer grade is weighted against the panel median; a farm's votes disagree with everyone else and shrink to near zero. Rewards vest over 20 epochs, so a clone earns nothing until it survives 20 closes. At the nadir, a nebula of 200 accounts pays 200 bonds and collects a fraction of one honest payout in copper, which is why the smaller mechanism wins.
