It's actually comforting to believe your adversary is so powerful that the only thing keeping you safe is their failure to notice you. Because that leaves you with only one reasonable course of action: don't rock the boat.
The reality, however is far more troubling: Even great powers have blind spots, weaknesses and limitations. Though it's not easy, their power can be contested. Which implies that refusing to rock the boat is just laziness or cowardice.
