Sure, salting definitely helps. A little.

It's like telling someone being shot at to stand sideways, because their profile is smaller that way. The right thing to tell them is to get the hell off the firing range.

The problem with salting is that people feel they're safe, and stop thinking about security there.

No they should stand head on so the bullet will take a shorter path through their body should they be hit.
