I'm not sure I catch your meaning. Of course person's kit reflects what they expect to happen (unless they're a moron). Are you saying that carrying a kit makes you more likely to seek out trouble or see trouble where none exists?

I don't disagree completely. We all know that they wouldn't sell Rambo knives if people weren't buying them, and not everyone buys them because they want them on the wall. The urge to build a kit can also stem from an inclination towards caution. People don't buy fire extinguishers because they wish to set fire to their kitchens.
