Elaborating on my earlier comment:

If the purpose of adding an additional time stamp object is
to support detection of the cases Dave Perkins outlined,
wouldn't it be simpler to replace the TruthValue with a
TestAndIncr?  This would get rid of the odd read/write
semantics, prevent the worst replay scenarios, and allow
recovery in the "lost response" case.

The semantics they're proposing for these objects really
don't match up with TruthValue.
