Yes, I agree with DM
You never now, what can come up or cross your ways on an
overland travel or in an ugly dungeon (where you decided to rest 3
days before exploring the next room).
Random encounters shouldn't be "tailored" to the group level. If
something bog comes up: Try to hide, run or die...
Another way to deal with to strong random encounters is, not to
use the encounter asn a combat only thing.
If your average level 2 group crosses the bald plains, and you roll a
red dragon on the table for the bald plains, why not just let him fly
thru the skies, high above the PCs' heads?
The encounter will do a good job in scaring the PCS, tell them that
dragons live in the bald plains, force them to hide without risking
their lives...
