More people do X makes X more done.
why does it fail so horribly for X = protecting a secret? or does it?

this way of phrasing is reasonable but it feels like those should cancel out. i mean why taking a situation of 1 person protecting a secret and multiplying it by N changes it.
oh i got it now.
if it’s 1000 people protecting 1000 different secrets (each their own) then it does cancel out.
note that it does get worse if the secret-guesser knows something about the statistical distribution of those secrets, and the value of each secret is kind of interchangeable to them. then things like rainbow tables exist.
