Default Light trigger safety

I responded in a previous post about my comfort with a 2 lb trigger for hunting but woke up this morning wondering if i am missing a point as it relates to safety and light triggers, in other words, what is the risk? In my mind, i feel like i know the answer and it is the possibility of it going off unintentionally bc you were on the trigger but not ready to fire. A light trigger can contribute to this. I am comfortable with my ability to handle this risk but is there more to be concerned with?

Personally, i have about 40 yrs of firearms experience so my confidence in handling weapons in a safe manner is high, but, decided it wouldn't hurt to see if i am missing something.

Btw, i understand the need to thoroughly test the effectivness of the safety when adj the trigger by slamming the bolt shut, banging the butt a few times, etc, all while unloaded of course
