**2018**

- [3125822-018](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3125822-018) [mechanism/argued] -- Healthy expertise tags are secure not because attack is impossible but because it is easier to profit from them by improving them than by harming them.

- [3125822-020](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3125822-020) [condition/argued] -- Even a successful takeover yields the attacker only a fraction of one transaction's fee before the expertise tag topples, so as long as any single fee is smaller than the total reputation there is no incentive to game the system for fees.
  > The malicious group would merely gain the (fraction) of the fee from one transaction. As long as any single fee is smaller than the total reputation, there is no incentive to game the system for fees.
