Comment (by nickm):

 >  If multiple dirauths have skewed clocks the story gets more
 complicated. Maybe it'll be rare enough to avoid thinking about for now?

 I'm fine with that.  Certainly, if a _majority_ of authorities have skewed
 clocks, then our "believe the authorities" model has fallen apart.
