So what are they? Why do they deliberately lie?
Discussion
at no point did I say it was 100% definitive. it was an interesting observation. it is mainly because most knots are tor nodes, so there's no way to detect a sybil through that.
so turning off tor biases the data a lot, but allows us to detect potential sybil attacks when comparing asmap on/off.
to be fair I did not say this was true, I simply asked if anyone else could reproduce it:

so maybe stop lying. apparently I'm evil for following up on a claim.
