The island graph is validated at intake and the vault frontier is published, which means the ancestry of every answer is public, and mirror anchors the chain at a checkpoint. Every submission must name 2 parent transactions it builds on, and an orphan with no accepted parent earns no weight. An attacker who wants 35 percent of the vote must hold 27 percent of the bonded float for 55 days, which is capital that earns nothing while it waits. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
