Comment (by starlight):

 {{{
 Have you considered the case where an Authority is under prolonged DDoS
 and, while functional cannot be reliably contacted?  That would be

 DIRAUTH_SKIP_REACHABLE  yes
 DIRAUTH_SKIP_SEEN       no
 DIRAUTH_SKIP_CHECKS     yes

 The case where an authority aggressively rate limits connections?

 DIRAUTH_SKIP_REACHABLE  yes
 DIRAUTH_SKIP_SEEN       no
 DIRAUTH_SKIP_CHECKS     no

 The recent case where dannenberg consensus could not sign the consensus?

 DIRAUTH_SKIP_REACHABLE  no
 DIRAUTH_SKIP_SEEN       no
 DIRAUTH_SKIP_CHECKS     yes

 A situation where an authority is not visible to the majority of
 other authorities but is visible to DocTor?

 DIRAUTH_SKIP_REACHABLE  no
 DIRAUTH_SKIP_SEEN       yes
 DIRAUTH_SKIP_CHECKS     yes

 Of course the case where an authority is offline for a extended interval:

 DIRAUTH_SKIP_REACHABLE  yes
 DIRAUTH_SKIP_SEEN       yes
 DIRAUTH_SKIP_CHECKS     yes
 }}}
