Having worked in restaurants and gas stations for over twenty years, I can tell you plainly that the idea that "The Customer is Always Right" is utter drek. The customer usually doesn't know what the hell they want, doesn't know how to ask for it if they do know, and often wants things that are just plain stupid. So no, "what the players want and what they can get are one and the same" is drek.
Yes, because there are stats on Lofwyr, some moron could go and try to kill him. He may even come up with a plan that might have more than a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding. But sometimes players want stupid things, and must be corrected in their outlook. While no one 'enjoys' a TPK, sometimes it is the medicine needed to snap players back to reality when they go after stupid things, despite all warnings to stop.
If you don't like the stats, ignore them. Hell, there are people out there who apparently don't like the fact that there are vampires in Shadowrun, and ignore everything to do with them. Why can't you do the same for some game info?
