Yes. Let's never do anything to improve our situation because it might actually deteriorate. With that kind of mindset, you better never leave your bed.

I didn't say never do anything, I said this specific thing could most likely do more harm than good.

Seems to be that the most effective thing for the Allied resistance to have done would've been to target the competent people around Hitler, who were not only potentially more dangerous, but also less well-protected by the SS. Senior advisors (especially "true believers" and policy wonks), yes-men pushing his agenda through the legislature, partisan judges, etc.

Hypothetically.
