Actually the chances of name conflict rise square-exponentially, like 1 − exp(−C*N²)

When you use non-prefixed vocabulary terms, the chances that there will
be a vocabulary term conflict between two communities rises
exponentially with relation to an increase in the number of total
vocabularies. This approach is not scalable and was never meant to be
scalable.
