So to get that capacity in that package , they must be seriously multi
MLCC. Was it actually dead short or very low resistance.

Very low resistance, I guess. Decimals of an ohm. Low enough for me to
consider it to be 'dead short', anyway ...

I suspect the usual metal migration failure mode of MLCC , then
paralling-up just increases the chance of failure , for the circuit.
Someone mentioned paralling ten , asking for trouble.
