If you want more details than the faq entry provides, here are three
hopefully useful links for more reading:

https://blog.torproject.org/blog/improving-tors-anonymity-changing-guard-parameters

http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#wpes12-cogs

https://www.petsymposium.org/2014/papers/Dingledine.pdf

(It sounds like you don't think the guard relay design is a smart one.
That's great -- the next step is to write up why exactly, and ideally
how some other design would handle all of the various attacks better.)
