This is for -invariants-09:

Section 6 says:

   Version Negotiation packets do not use integrity or confidentiality
   protection.  A specific QUIC version might authenticate the packet as
   part of its connection establishment process.

Is the second not contradicting what is said in previous paragraph:

    A Version Negotiation packet contains no other fields.

So to my understanding the authentication that the paragraph above talks about needs to be done in another QUIC packet, it can't be done in a QUIC packet that is Version Negotiation. Can this be made more explicit or do I misunderstand and can you then clarify why this is not a contradiction?
