But the point was that someone could use such an excuse to arrange a situation where they could murder someone and get away with it. With that context, remember that context being that they would get away with it, if it had happened, then you wouldn`t be reading any reports about it as those would just reflect the story that the killer told.
This one isn`t quite the same context as breaking into a house, but it does illustrate a situation where someone is potentially using an excuse of self-defence to justify murder.

Oh look, the jury did decide that in this instance the defendant trying to claim self-defence as a reason was a lie.

As I said, the context is not quite the same, but I think that it amply demonstrates that people are willing to murder and then play the self-defence card. Perhaps you would like to reconsider whose argument is flawed.
