The three stooges effect I see. Too many corrosive elements, they stop each other from getting through the door.

I was thinking of the Mr Burns sickness bit which references the stooges [1]

I think people are taking this seriously but in reality I'm just referencing this bit.
This is great. Any other dynamics in which The Stooges Effect is present?
High entropy alloys come to mind. There are so many possible metallic combinations when you mix 5 o 6 metals in equal proportions that they all end up being in a single, homogeneous combinantion with about one atom of each per crystal molecule.
Oh wow I thought this was a simpsons reference to when Mr. Burns has too many diseases, that none of them can take him down. Cool that it's a real thing
