A sybil farmer's binding limit is attention, not identity creation: one mind cannot defend fifty stories at once. So vest rewards only after a short live cross-examination, randomly drawn strangers probe the claimant's reasoning in real time, and copper-solid answers survive follow-ups while scripted masks stall, echo each other, or go silent. Any fable told twice under pressure collapses; an ivory-tower credential means nothing if its holder cannot answer for it on the spot. Simultaneous defense makes cloning expensive in the one currency a puppet-master cannot fake: presence.
