You mean all those 50,000 students and staffers really thought they were the only ones using the Hiding Room? All of them were maroons, not just Tom Riddle?
It's one think to posit that proto-Voldemort was a blithering idiot, but to ascribe that same stupidity to tons of people is a bit of a stretch.
Because as soon as one person thinks 'hmmm, I wonder if someone else has ever hidden something in the RofR?' ... the jig's up.
