Do a thousand readings, fix the parts that don't match across the board?

Then you have to do 1000x the sequencing, which can get expensive on long read technologies :)

That said, that’s basically how a lot of NGS works in things like cancer sequencing on Illumina platforms.

Seems to me, that stuff is getting cheaper all the time.
