In fact, the rationale of dissolving collusions was suggested to
me decades ago, by someone unfamiliar with IT, in the context
of physical plant security; preventing pilfering of physical assets.
(Among the obvious targets are model shops; one can arrange
to divert *anything* from a model shop. I recall a case locally
where an employee of a model shop at a highly secure Federal
installation had diverted enough materials to build a spiral
stairway in his house worth $15K:

But no maple syrup.)
But the principle is the same as staggering vacations in
financial institutions to dissolve collusions.
