The lecture is likely to include the fact that many risk and protective factors are opposites. This means that factors that increase the likelihood of developing a psychological disorder (risk factors) are often countered by factors that decrease the likelihood (protective factors). It is not accurate to say that risk factors are unable to predict who may develop a disorder, as certain risk factors can increase the likelihood significantly. Medical illness is not necessarily a protective factor, and feeling insecure is not a consistent protective factor either.
