Not true. The shard alone is insufficient to unlock the secret. But to your point, the scheme could be designed in an n of m fashion. The simplest scheme is comprised of three shards: 1) You 2) Org 3) Govt. (ideally DoJ)

Any two can be used in concert to unlock the secret. You and the Org combine shards to access account. You or Org can be compelled by Govt. to reveal shard, through a warrant. The third shard is held at the DoJ, and also requires a warrant.
