It's just a stupid point. No human being is more dangerous than a bear, and if your point relies on assuming people should go with hyperbole over taking it literally, it's just badly constructed. Use another simile that actually stands up to being taken literally. Bears can and will violently maul you to death in a horrifying and nightmarish death that goes on for a lot longer than you think. A bear is more dangerous than even an armed man. That's why the best defense against men is a gun to kill him, but the best defense against a bear is mace that will distract and confuse it with pain to make it lose interest in you.
