New description:
Roger said it this way:
{{{
basically what tor browser needs on the backend is a routine that tries a
bridge+pt and decides whether it worked. and once we have that building
block, many things get easier.
}}}
{{{
"given a PT and a bridge, try it and decide if bootstrapping worked"
}}}
