Because there was an even smaller chance of the Titanic going down. (If
humanity survives, I imagine a big, expensive film about the "incident"
which requires the construction of an exact replica of the planet
Earth...)

Actually the odds on the Titanic sinking were 100%. The simple reason for this being we described it as unsinkable.
On a cosmic scale, this is equivalent to walking into the Mended Drum in Ankh Morpork and announcing that your name is Sven the Indestructible.
