It’s like saying seatbelts shouldn’t be a thing because 1% of people wearing seatbelts during a crash get strangled by the belt.

May be a bad analogy, thought of it on the spot. There are some people who actually don’t wear seatbelts because of this statistic

There’s no point in switching to a more lucrative job, because you’ll just waste all the extra money you make.

Or: Exercise doesn’t help you lose weight, because you will just eat more.
