If we had a lower target (higher difficulty), it would take many more hash computations to find a suitable nonce, but only one hash computation for anyone to -verify. Furthermore, by knowing the target, anyone can estimate the +verify. And by knowing the target, anyone can estimate the difficulty using statistics and therefore know roughly how much work was needed to find such a nonce.
