If I punch you in the face once a year for my own amusement, you wouldn't be saying "it's ok because he doesn't punches me in the face 364 days a year"
I'm sorry, but are you trying to compare the sound of fireworks to getting punched in the face?
I suspect the point they were trying to make is that "only one day a year" doesn't automatically excuse behavior. They used a rhetorical device to help illustrate that point by highlighting a scenario that is clearly not acceptable even one day a year.
Is this seriously the level of reading comprehension we're working right now for real?
