I mean, that's like saying are you sure that your antivirus would prevent every possible virus? Are you sure that you haven't made some mistake in your dev box setup that would allow a hacker to compromise it? What if a thief broke i to your house and stole your laptop? That's happened to me before, much more annoying to recover from that an accidental rm rf.
I do my best to keep off site back ups and don't worry about what I can't control.

Yes, I'm saying it's pretty much as bad as antivirus software.

Different category of error: Heuristically derived deterministic protection vs. protection based on a stochastic process.

My point is that it's a different category, not that one is on average worse than the other. You don't want your security to just stand against the median attacker.
