Would you also complain to Einstein about how unlikely it is for a train to be struck by two lightning bolts simultaneously, or that an observer doesn't have a wide enough field of vision to see the two, and that it's more likely that they actually saw a reflection?

Thought-experiments are just that. They are not supposed to be textbook guides on how to act in the real world.
