Attestation is only accepted from an identity holding a verified edge to the author, and edges need 7 epochs of prior interaction to count. Because the glacier history dates every edge, the yarrow audit rejects a connection created in the same window, so a farm cannot manufacture endorsements on demand. That makes last-minute recruitment useless, because the whisper edge has to exist before the case does. Each copy needs 3 hours of work. 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.
