Security through obscurity is prudent in addition to other measures, so would this. (Regardless of wheather this actually was a thing or not).
- zimpenfish 5y ago> the point is to make things harder for intruders If the intruders are at the bottom of your stairs, you've probably already lost, no?

I don't see why you would fight on the stairs though, as opposed to running to the top where you can close a door behind you, or fight from a flat floor.
