the only example that comes to mind is distributed / collaborative anomaly detection systems which become more robust with a larger number of entities and interactions to observe. in such a scenario, the ability of the system to accurately "detect" malicious activities or unusual failures would increase with the complexity of the system. [though this exposes a critical distributed component to attackers; poorly implemented and you've got a global witty worm, or worse...] _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
