Exactly, but that's why they're dangerous. The problem with shy dogs is that a person might not anticipate correctly situations when the dog feels put in a tight corner, e.g. a judge may want to look through the shy dogs' teeth and the dog might attack. I know a breeder whose dogs are so shy that at dog shows they lie down in panic and "warn" everybody who wants to touch them though at home, without strangers around, they are OK!

What an interestingly exact statement! Do you know of any studies that justify it?
