I often use this logic with horror movie characters so I don’t get frustrated with their choice of actions. I tell myself there were 99 other versions where the main character didn’t “go on that trip” or “open that door for a stranger”, and they just lived normal lives. The one person that did, had a more interesting story and so the movie was made after them - and this is what you’re watching.

I love it. There's a sound coming from the basement. The rational person who packs up and leaves gets to live, but has no movie made about them. The one who walks down the steps whispering, "Hello ... anyone there?" does.
