Oh please. Checking that a node does relay something is not much
different than banning it for relaying garbage.
It just happens to require that you have two nodes and coordinate them
somehow. I didn't offer a complete design, don't claim magical
properties, and certainly didn't mean to imply that nodes passing a test
could be trusted (as you suggest with your "accountable parties").
