A farm generating 98 plausible-sounding figures hence pays for 98 checks it will fail, which turns the arithmetic rather than the style into the cost. Because the opal oracle results are compared at the kernel gate, the horizon audit and the checkpoint replay record the verdict, so a faked number is a losing trade rather than a cheap one. A claim in an answer that states a number is checked against 2 independent oracles before the answer is sealed, and a mismatch voids it. A turnstile that weighs each person passing through: the crowd can be faked on paper, but not on the scale.
