You're missing the part where this could happen to anyone including you on any regular day. The way we've set our systems and laws of probability up, you might see yourself handcuffed a random day of your life and go through a significant amount of stress imagining yourself locked up in jail. While you've correctly described the theory in terms of the facts, you're missing the subjective first-person experience of the character in the story.

(Though perhaps not in that exact way...) My gripe is with his analysis of the situation now that he's had time to reflect, not with the fact that he did what he did, or that he found it stressful.
