"If this officer had planned his training strategy around preparing for the "average" officer shooting, he'd likely be dead."
Perhaps. Or not.
My view is that for everyone there is a risk. The risk is a combination of the severity of what you'd like to avoid (pretty severe in a shooting) and the probability of it occurring (rather unlikely for most of us).
You want to devlote enough resources (mainly time and money) to mitigage the risk to an acceptable level.
My choice is to overtrain a bit for the most likely eventuality. (The overtrain part is probably due more to OCD than paranoia.) For example, I'll engage two or three targets on occasion. On the other hand, I don't carry an extra magazine let alone practice changing them.
