Agreed. Though in the latter case you might still do best to give numbers: “Somewhere around 1%, but this is a wild guess so don’t take it too seriously.” This is not the same statement as the corresponding one with 2% instead of 1%, even though both might be reasonably accurately paraphrased as “unlikely” or even “very unlikely”.
