Let's say 5 people.

What is the smallest effect size you would be able to reliably detect with a test that small?

Unfortunately I have no idea. My statistics knowledge is many years unused.... I have some brushing up to do.

But it seems you're right - if each person gave 50 statements, the sample size would just be 250 (the # of liers x the number of statements they give).
