Eh, I don't think it's a stupid analogy. It just doesn't quite fit given the various studies that have absolutely shown that masks catch some stuff.
The fence is fine. It's the projectile that's the issue. Perhaps the most accurate version would be a fence with hundreds of different types of sports balls being thrown at it. The fence will catch all of the basketballs and baseballs except the weird errant one that goes over the top. Golf balls are hit and miss. Marbles? Eh, those are almost entirely going right through.
And the fence is much more effective if someone is kicking balls from 2 feet away (the wearer) than it is from balls being kicked from 30 feet away, some of which are going to go above and around the fence (everyone else).
