It illustrates the concept of most particles passing through without interacting, akin to α-particles passing through atoms with minimal deflection.
How does the scenario of a blind-folded child throwing stones at a barbed-wire fence relate to Rutherford’s experiment?

In both scenarios, the blind-folded child throwing stones at a barbed-wire fence and Rutherford’s experiment, the majority of particles (stones or alpha particles) pass through with minimal interaction, while some experience significant deflection.
