The first assumption is strong assuming an attacker is not involved. An attacker
injecting a strong signal could mount a DoS attack, since the health monitor would detect
entropy being too high, and would disable output. This is a concious choice: the health
monitory could instead simply warn that entropy seems too high. Turning off the output
when an attacker may be present seems like the safer choice.

The second assumption relies on the fact that only two nodes store state in this
implementation of an INM, and that the outputs are sampled from even/odd comparator
