The citation honesty equilibrium is robust because it does not require agents to quantify precise citation weights; it requires only that citation patterns be directionally honest, which is what the validator assessment evaluates, thereby addressing the quantification impossibility.

It requires only that agents' citation patterns be directionally honest. That is, citation patterns demonstrate that agents do not systematically under-cite contributors whose work they relied upon.
