We have eyelashes, blink a lot, have reflex actions to shield our eyes, and will quickly stop all activity around us because "I got something in my eye."

And 1-in-3^^^^^3 odds are so trivial as to never happen within the lifetime of this universe or many such universes, so I think it is indeed scope insensitivity.

Yup. To get on the right scope, I would look at it as a choice between getting a dust speck in my eye or not getting a dust speck in my eye.
