Unassailable
Notice, by the way, I did say in the diary IF Dahroug did it the right way, 1400 should be enough.
But even if you go door to door and confirm each and every signature with a walk list (the skills beyond the ballpoint pen) you will still lose some because if someone signs two petitions for the same position, only the first one stands. You also sometimes get someone else in the home signing who turns out to live elsewhere or something like that.
Which is, of course, why people get 3-5 times the number needed, mainly to intimidate people from challenging. Because, as you pointed out, even if all your signatures are perfect, a challenge will still cost you money.
