Good ol' JOhn Doe is walking down the street to go to the local store. Suddenly he is jumped by a gang, beaten, and stolen from. The cops come and arrest the offenders. But they let them keep the wallet filled with cash and let the man sit there, ignoring his obviously fatal injuries. Whats more, the officers replace the gangmembers tattered clothes and pay medical expenses for the injuries they may have occured while engaged in combat with the dude.
Ahh noes! More 'real life' comparisons
In real life - If i get mugged walking down the road - Policemen do not instantly drop out of the sky in uncombatable forces and nuke my mugger either.
There is a 70% chance the criminal will get my wallet and get away scot free.
How does this fit into your story

Answer this. Why is everyone in RL not robbing banks, people, stealing cars and so on... OK. so he did a bad comparison, but the fact is it needs sorting, balancing or what ever you want to call it
People who quote 'real life' over and over again need a kick in the sacks
OMFG - IN MARIO I JUMPED THOROUGH A PAINTING AND A GIANT BULLET ATE ME! THIS JUST WOULDNT HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE I WOULD BOUNCE OFF THE PAINTING - AND GRAVITY WOULD PULL THE GIANT BULLET TO THE GROUND BEFORE IT ATE ME
People who start ANOTHER new thread about something their are already 15 threads hovering around need a kick in the shins.
People who try to threaten CCP with dire warnings about the noob revenue stream deserve a kick to the elbow.

It's a straight economic transaction. And a bad one for the game, in my opinion, because it's incredibly lopsided.
QFT. I know this isn't RL, but some things should follow the rules of sensibility. If you repeatedly smash your car into a tree in front of a hundred witnesses, I seriously doubt you'll be seeing a check from the insurance company for it. Hell, I doubt you'd even see one of those nicely written cancellation notices, much less a check for each and every time you do it.
STOP WITH THE REAL LIFE COMPARISONS!!!!!!!
In real life if you continualy drove into a war zone with no police protection (0.0 space) and got your car shot up - you wouldnt recieve insurance payouts either. Lets have no insurance for anyone in 0.0
In real life you would pay more insurance if you lived in a bad ass area (low sec). Lets have MASSIVE insurance costs for people who go into low sec
Oh and no payouts if you die thorugh dire negligence
And no payouts for self destruction
I could go on
