You can only miss (or make) shots you take. In other words you can't make the shot if you don't take it. And then again you could miss. And sometimes it's not worth it. Like say...trying to jump across a 50 foot gap. That's a shot not with taking. And worth missing. Long story short: You can't do something by not doing it.

If you see a child playing with matches and do nothing, you LET them burn the house down. You didn't burn the house down.
