Maybe _start_ by saying "The system is content-neutral. By this we
mean..." and then make the point about popularity not being a factor, and
how nodes agree to accept data possibly against their operator's
preferences?

accountability sounds more like cleaning up after the damage an 
evil node has done, and tying the damage to a specific node. Does
"robustness" fit the notion of limiting damage from evil nodes?

Then you could add "accountability" (or "audit capability" or
"verifiability" ) as the criterion which says even that limited
damage gets tied back to the evil node.
