If properly swaged, the cable is supposed to break first
under tension.  If two are used, it's insurance in case the
first one is not quite compressed enough (possibly like my
swages).  So I guess whimsically, if 3-4 are really needed,
it says a lot about my first two.  Meaning my 3rd and 4th
are...?.   :-)
