Interesting; I have often had the opposite sense: that involving a larger cohort of nodes generally increases the risk of collusion.

Of course, the consequences of collusion with Ursula are quite a lot less (she can refuse to revoke, but cannot recover the secret). This comes at a cost of needing to know Bob's public key prior to access being granted. It's really a very different formula.

We have often pondered (sometimes out loud) about adding some variety of Shamir's Character after Ursula hits mainnet.
