It doesn't matter. The proxy can explain it in a variety of ways.
*Conceptually* this has passed through multiple proxies that happen to

Note that this isn't conceptually much different from double
Record-Routing which has proven to be useful.
Why are you questioning these multiple Vias? What business is it of yours?
