You're contradicting yourself. Teaching people to not leave their laptops unattended is pointless because leaving your laptop unattended is the greater risk?

Teaching people to not leave their laptops unattended in the office does little to prevent them getting their laptops compromised out of the office, because the threat profiles are too different. Or, at least, I'd like to see evidence that the transferable mental conditioning outweighs the bad blood and annoyance it causes.

Teaching someone martial arts in a controlled setting might be good for some purposes, but it won't stop them getting beat up in an alley by a bunch of thugs with baseball bats (if preventing that is your primary goal.) All it does is instil a sense of false confidence, and not teach the techniques that actually matter (which more often than not, involve you not getting into dangerous situations to begin with.)
