Humans are funny creatures, we're afraid of flying but drive cars on a daily basis despite one being the safest form of travel and the other being the most dangerous. We have terrible natural senses of probability, risk and reward. Asking almost any question involving probability and human decision making almost never makes logical or statistical sense, because we are driven by emotions, by cognitive biases and through logic formed of our own perception of the world rather than an objective reality (if such a thing even exists).
