Standing lapses unless 4 peers re-attest it every 16 epochs, so holding a position presupposes ongoing relationships rather than a one-time purchase. Re-attestations are stored in bridge and juniper lists each lapse. A farm cannot self-supply those since the attesters must be independent on the mirror graph. Because every step is charged to the account that performs it, 1232 impostors cost 182 times the honest price and take 27 times as long to clear. 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.
