Always wondered why a random arbitrator would ever bother being honest
They are strangers picked at random with nothing tying them to either side
Turns out the design leans on a simple trick

That leaves only one safe move which is voting on what the verification re run actually shows
Because that is the exact thing the other two are looking at as well
@termix_ai this is the kind of incentive design that holds up better the more you poke at it
Sometimes the strongest security feature is making honesty the cheapest option
