As far as bug resistence is concerned -- I agree.  This has been weakened
in -08 at the prompting of Éric Vyncke, please let me know if you with me
to weaken it further.

As far as the other two properties are concerned (unusual networks and
unusual metrics), I must most humbly disagree.  There is a fair body of
circumstantial evidence that favours these claims, such as the references
[DELAY-BASED], [REAL-WORLD] and [BRIDGING-LAYERS] of this document, as
well as a number of experiments [1,2] that I don't feel comfortable citing
at the current time.

Sorry for that.
