I can’t believe I missed that.
I still don’t think the proof part is necessary even with the potential for internal employee tampering. With sufficient system authorization and security auditing catching someone tampering would be enough than wasting all that compute resource to prevent it for such a rare case.
Cool story though. I really like UO back in the day.
