People get in over there heads without a chance to escape IRL all the time. Especially if they indulge in risky behavior. So, once a GM accepts that there is always an escape if they choose to run, that GM is tailoring the encounters to the party. Or do you have scenarios where out of the night four gruesomes roll up on the party of four 3rd level guys with no warning and wipe them out? Or a hungry dragon swoop in and pluck a few for late night snacks? Or are these things maybe just maybe not quite as random and escape not as uncertain and maybe a weee bit of tailoring (actually a lot but lets not pop all the balloons) is happening?</blockquote>
