Ask HN: Ratio of “More Complexity” to “Simpler Vulnerabilities”
I seem to recall a rule or law in programming theory (Simmilar to Moore's Law) that states this but I can't seem to find it.
An example would be:
Mailing a couple hundred obvious fake ballots to internet influencers, who would publicize the fact that fake ballots are being mailed out, thus disrupting the entire system with a simple albeit illegal action.

Consequently, a successful endeavor (subject to this principle) is one where every possible deficiency has been avoided."
