A better example might be... a series of polarizing filters? If you have a series of polarizers but skip all the way from vertical to horizontal with nothing in between, no light gets through. If you put a diagonal polarizer between the horizontal and vertical, some light gets through. If you have a big long series of very gradual steps from vertical polarizer to horizontal polarizer, almost all the light gets through. More frequent measurements causing the zeno effect is like to adding more gradations of polarizer direction causing the all-light-gets-through effect.
