There's not "right" and "wrong" here. There's just "what you consider being something worth thinking about" and "what you consider so wildly unlikely as to not be worth more than 3 seconds of your time".
I'm surprised if (as you claim) professional statisticians place these issues in the first category.
(Heck, never mind...I didn't REALLY want to hear, again, how unlikely a key collision is relative to, say, the earth crashing into the sun this tuesday.)
I still don't think you've understood it, but Nathaniel seems to have satisfied your (really rather inane) queries.
