I'd be tempted to say *yes* , because the faulty intermediary may be #1 out of
50, and it would be a pity to wait until the final receiver (#51) to find out
that the message failed 50 nodes ago. However, how would intermediary #2 know
about the problem, since it has currently no way to tell #1 came before it (#1
could come later; how would we differentiate, since we have no explicit path or
recorded route?)
