I'm pointing out that flipping bits could be a form of cryptographic attack (potentially against an implementation bug, not necessarily against the math/algo) . For example flipping a bit possibly could cause a checksum failure and retransmit. I'm not saying something _is_ happening, mostly just musing on the possibilities.
