Layers. It's all about layers. In this case, using Tails and Tor make it less likely, but not impossible, that the adversary will actually get their hands on the leaked document for analysis in the first place. (In this case I would be more concerned about the SecureDrop application and the specific instances becoming too juicy a target for the counter-intel people. Once they decide to infiltrate something, they generally do after a while.)
