Your parent seems to point out that's not how it works: you've got access to the ful partition either way, meaning you can accidentally overwrite the other partition.

If I remember right, the hidden partitions are indistinguishable from random data on your disk and it was necessary to provide an offset to the first block (or whatever) so it could be decrypted. You could easily overwrite it accidentally because it just looks like free space.
