Everyone entering a roundabout from any lane is required to yield to all traffic in the roundabout in any lane. So if you are hit by a car turning right from the inside lane, you SHOULD be ticketed. You have caused the accident by not yielding.
Forgetting that for a minute, your 'logic' still makes no sense. If you enter the roundabout from the left lane, you are crossing the right (outside) lane of the roundabout...twice in fact, entering and exiting. You have not reduced your potential conflicts in any way. In fact you have increased them.
Of course the potential conflicts don't matter anyway if you simply obey the first rule...yield to all traffic in the roundabout. Then you are safe whichever lane you choose.
