You don't peer with HE, but you buy transit from a company that does peer with HE.

Neither Cogent or HE buy transit from anybody else. They only peer and have customers. They don't buy "fallback" traffic.

Now if Cogent refuses to peer with HE (or the other way around), and they both don't buy traffic from anybody else, they can't reach each other...
