The node at the end should be close to optimal even if we've redirected near 
the beginning, right? Otherwise, we've found data that was somewhere it 
shouldn't have been, which is valuable because it will then move to where it 
should be, although we get a dubious route in the short term - it shouldn't 
happen very often? If finding data in odd places is very common, then path 
folding from ordinary routing isn't going to work very well either, it'll be 
dominated by fetches of ubiquitously cached data (which it probably is...).
