that's two suggestions to route it outside I've read - is it really a
good idea to route a wire essential for safety via a place where it
could be interfered with?


Well its a judgement call. If its a short distance in your own garden,
and especially if in conduit or trunking, then it seems pretty safe. If
it was on the front of a building that was faced directly onto a public
street, then the answer may well be different.
