I mean, if there is a fire, it’s probably ok to yell about it.
- thaumasiotes 7y agoIt's an interesting question. The yelling causes pretty much identical harm regardless of whether the fire is there. Evacuating (in general) is a difficult problem because you want to do it without letting everyone know what's going on. We mostly say yelling "fire!" is ok when the fire exists because it looks bad to punish the true alarm, not because the false alarm is worse than the true one.
