This is equivalent to the situation where Alice and Bob only know of one 
neighbour each (because they only want to connect to one trusted node or 
something). No more or less broken than that. Alice's fast neighbour just 
acts as a proxy for all her requests, so document clustering happens as a 
result of her neighbour's closeness relation instead of hers. Likewise for 
Bob.
