Exactly my point, along with the whole "stealth is exactly what the statues should be protecting against" thing. I mean, what enemy who finds a secret passage is going to go traipsing through? No. They're going to be sneaking their way in.
One would hope, but seeing the number of players in most games nowadays that want to rush everywhere without taking the time to scout an area, I have a feeling enemies are "supposed" to do the same thing or developers are afraid those impatient players will cry about it being unfair.
I agree with you about arrows shouldn't hurt them, explosives, bludgeoning, and force damage for sure should and maybe fire or lightning on specifically the eyes. Anyone wearing the circlet shouldn't be a target at all.
