Covering your eyes does not stop the oncoming train.

It's more like thinking you can push back on a train, because maybe a disaster is legitmately coming.

Then you realize you're not bound to the tracks and it's probably best to simply let the trainwreck happen rather than add one more fatality to it.

Yea but if the train is coming regardless then there’s no harm in closing your eyes if you like. Makes no difference.
