-[It's a proof!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry–Howard_correspondence) For each entry returned by the

-exactly `num_hashes` times, and then hashing then event data on top of that. Because the event data is
-included in the hash, the events cannot be reordered without regenerating all the hashes.
