So basically, you only have a handful of chances. You have a limited number of times to try before, you will inevitably and always fail.

Of course, though, there are ways to circumvent this. You could either move to a different social group or social ring, to prevent information from spreading. Or you could move. But you have to make sure there is a social barrier between the two groups. And you can only do it after a small number of fails; if you have a gigantic reputation, you'll have to move a significant distance to try again.
