Nope, I'm talking about scale. You'd need to signal (paint with radar, send a packet, dip the power in morse code, put the magic cookie in the root DNS server response, whatever) every target at least once prior to exploitation. But yes, stealth would certainly be a concern that would reduce the value of AMT relative to a factory backdoored RNG.
