No, by subsequent I mean intermediaries who handle the message after the
point of initial "oh, this is broken" determination. So if I'm the 5th
intermediary (let's assume that all are ARC participating for this
discussion), and the chain on the message that I receive does not pass the
validation checks (for any of the three possible reasons), then my report
is meaningful to the sender but reports from 6, 7, 8, etc are not.
