I'm following you twice (with the motorsports account that actually makes useful contributions and with this one that very much doesn't) so I'm not even an entire fake person!

As bad forecasts go this is actually quite a good one given he qualified it and it's for the duration of an entire year. Cf Andy Card's "It should be a really easy day" to President Bush on the morning of September 11th 2001.

Secondly, Starfleet encourages engineers to experiment. Ideally not with critical systems; still, the sort of experimentation Starfleet engineers are interested in tends to have a blast radius. Finally, engineers work in the bit of the ship that goes boom. Everyone else is more spread out.

There's basically three reasons. Firstly, the number of engineers something needs is proportional to reactor output whereas the number of security personnel it needs is proportional to volume, so security is disproportionately on installations and starbases, which are less hazardous than starships.
