In this case, oversimplifying is warranted, mostly because the things glossed over are either sufficiently complicated that it's hard to make simple, or are things are already generally known.
Take, for example, the 50% point. Once you hand over so much stock that the amount you and the people you implicitly trust hold dips below 51%, you've lost control. Clearly an issue outside of the 1/(1-n) equation, and yet not really relevant. Everyone knows this already.
Then there's the general notion of not handing out too much stock to too many factions, but this too is more or less established knowledge amongst the target audience.
Having said that, the nuance of factoring in odds of success is a worthwhile consideration. Hat off for explaining it!
I agree that simplifying is warranted! I can't understand complex things anyway. Plus if you can't explain it, you don't understand it.. here I feel like I got some modicum
