More people do X makes X more done.
why does it fail so horribly for X = protecting a secret? or does it?

This is a general trend, but like in the case you noted, doesn’t always hold.
Another example: if one woman can have one baby in nine months, how long does it take nine women to have one baby?
A lot comes down to technique:
When “protecting a secret” do the people doing the protecting actually know the secret? Do they even know they’re doing secret protection? Secret protection works best when the secret is known by nobody.
These 9 women, are they just getting pregnant, or are they plotting a kidnapping?
My project manager says nine women would have a baby in 2 weeks
That type of thinking is required to be a project manager, I think.
