That's why I think that the more is compared, the most secure is it.
Theoretically yes, but this is not how EAC works. It reads large blocks only for error detection. Once an error was detected there, it will read smaller blocks around that position (8 tries etc.)
So only the first error occurance of the large blocks is looked at. The probability of an error at that position reading 27 blocks or reading 27*x blocks is the same. Thus detecting the error has still the same probability...
(If I am correct)
