Pinging is not analogous to twisting doorknobs, I think of it more like 
driving past your house - "yep, there's a house there." NMAP scans are 
more like twisting doorknobs to me.

Blasphemy.

There is quite a difference, even in analogy, of some pinging/port
scanning, and someone twisting my doorknobs.

If you can't see it, you won't.

I suppose if you see someone looking into the windows of your home and
hear them twisting the doorknobs you don't mind either, you just ignore
him and go about your business. After all, they didnt actually break in
did they? So, no worries.
