Hi folks, this is a very specific questions about multi-sig (2of2) vs single-sig.  I believe this was already asked, but not answered. Let’s imagine a future scenario where randomly generating a single-sig wallet is much easier and faster than today, or that there’s a yet unknown/undicovered bug that makes it explaoitable and in a matter of a few years or a decade, one could stumble upon single-sig wallets with ease.
I would like to understand if having a 2of2 would mitigate this, simply by the fact that one would not only have to generate/guess 2 keys instead of one, but those exact 2 keys. My quetions is specifically if in such an event, having a multi-sig could prevent coin acess unless the atacker can find those exact two keys. AFAIK, it’s not like multi-sig is a one biger key, it’s in fact 2 independent keys one would need to find, those exact two. Is this the case?
