With this argumentation, you could argue that a good security professional is not leaving the house, because the risk of something dangerous happening is definitely lower if he stays inside.
Comparing the allegory of my argument to yours, there is a very wide breadth between not going outside because something bad might happen and going outside and setting your cars driver seat on fire to show your wife that someone could potentially set your entire car on fire, leading to your wife calling the police, the police checking your neighbors security camera you didnt even realize existed to notice that you set the drivers seat on fire, and then charging you with mischief, arson, and public endangerment.
