For any action to be useful it also has to be practical. If you were concerned by the risks associated with driving your car then you may consider a horse-drawn buggy. Statistics show that horse-drawn buggies are much safer than cars. Safe - but not really practical for getting around.
Bruce Schneier is wont to offer the same kind of advice - emminently accurate but not really appropriate for the actual world that people live and work and play in.
The systems, tools, protocols, software, methodologies, customs....... that have become the norm in the world we live in (just like cars are the norm) are not perfect, so it is better to learn to use these in an intelligent, aware, responsible way rather than go out on the fringe and seek solutions that may be statistically better but that are no more practical than swopping your car for a horse-drawn buggy.
