You're forgetting that one cannot perform the contract-related feat without the contract. Moreover, Guardians are the only entity that can grant the contracts under their jurisdiction (applies to Family contracts as well), which means that any use of the feat is also the proof of the contract.

Also, you assume that 10 Great Family individuals are born with single contract, and not with multiple contracts. However, even if the former is true (I cannot recall, or we don't have the information), there should be no difference. In other words, while the assumption that the more privileged individuals may have a better contract(s) than the less privileged individuals is sound, the assumption that contract(s) for the same feature (i.e., the use of Shinsoo on a subset of all Floors) rely on fundamentally different (i.e., enough to matter) mechanics is counterintuitive.

The idea about attacking Pocket's location would be reasonable if you overlook the situations our characters have faced so far. From the top of my head, Viole's Pocket easily survives Wangnan's bombs on 20F, then there were lots of huge Shinsoo attacks engulfing the targets, Aka's shower with soul melting juice, Yihwa's targets engulfed in flames, and other AoE attacks that apparently leave the Pockets untouched. This either means the Pockets can withstand more than their users, or the "invisible mode" also renders them intangible or some such. There is more beside surviving all these attacks (consider the Zahard's immortality situation), but the point should be clear with this alone.

If you insist on percentages, then I should say the 30% estimate is a huge stretch. While the theory lacks support and everything we know suggests otherwise (i.e., 0%), the possibility--however remote--must be acknowledged (i.e., "symbolic" 1%).
