TLS only allows one forgery attempt per connection (thus per key). That is,
as soon as a TLS implementation fails to verify a record's authentication
tag, it must shut down the connection. Thus, it would be more useful to
state the analysis as "Observing X signed records over Y bytes increases
the odds of the attacker forging the next record to Z."
