I don’t think you can draw that conclusion from the fact that the comment didn’t contain all the information you expected.
I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect people to think of and mitigate every potential problem that can occur. You focus only on those that are both likely, and will have a big impact.
Will people that have experienced a vanishingly unlikely problem try to mitigate that from ever happening again? Sure. But I’m not sure if it’s actually rational to do so, when they have bigger and more likely problems to worry about.
