And in practice, I'm sure that some people find that running every red light 
they come to will work for them.

And I've heard of more than a few people who constantly run red lights.  Or 
admins that don't have good passwords for their accounts, or home Windows 
users that don't run any firewalls or anti-virus software.

That doesn't mean that any of these ideas is a good one, or safe.  Just 
because you don't know how unsafe it is, or you don't care how unsafe it is, 
doesn't mean that it's an idea that you should recommend to others.
