I think it makes a lot of sense for stratum one servers to peer with

Will that have any effect?  Won't each stratum-1 only believe it's own
directly attached stratum-0 reference?  Or will a large enough swarm
of stratum-1's all with similar times be able to win the selection
contest against a failed stratum-0?

If I correctly understand what I have read, a stratum one server with three or more peers could be convinced that its reference clock was less than perfect. If the reference clock says it's 0301:03.01 and the three peers all agree that it's 0301:04.00 then server should tell its clients that the time is 0301:04.00. If the peers say it's 0301 and the reference clock says it's 0401 the server should declare its reference clock insane!
