security by only obscurity is bad. Having both is better.

For example say I have a hollowed out wall that is hidden behind a painting.

Just putting my money in the hole is bad once it’s found it’s gone but if I put my money in a safe in the hole. Well now you need to find it and break the safe and a hidden safe is objectively better than just having a safe on the floor because you need to find it first.
