Given the number of people in the world, murder is a super low probability event; yet every parent tells their kid not to hitchhike because killers are out there.
A persons activities and behavior can make a low possibility event a 99% certainty over time.
For example: that ugly chick doesn't look like she could ever get pregnant; but keep hanging out with her.
