This, in particular has been discussed many times on this forum. A group size is chosen in any dht to be of a size that’s infeasible to lose the whole group (think whole, quorum etc. as same thing) in a refresh time. A refresh is generally 30 or 60 mins, but in SAFE the nodes are directly connected, so refresh is as close to network speed as possible. This makes this significantly less feasible.
Regardless of that, with disjoint groups and data_chains, merge/split of groups is handled as a nat…

All the flat earth postulates and so on. new/innovative means having tools we never previously had, SAFE is no different, look at zk-snarks and the “impossible” halting problem. I have no ego regarding all these theorems, I do not fear them or ignore them. As @digipl says there are always reasons not to try and assume failure before you start, we don’t go that way …
