Publishing is complex, and at least in damus is not apparent which relays an event is published to.
For example, say you have 10 relays. You hit post, and hear back from three with successful post. Two relays reject your post. You have not heard back from the remainder five relays in a short amount of time.
Compare and contrast with posting on single relay X.
