Whether that's relevant depends on the source of the doubt, and the relative payoffs. The primary source of doubt in this case (ie. something with no numbers attached being thought of as 'scary') is ignorance. If that doubt remained after expert consultation, and the negative payoff from the release had a potential to be high, sure, it would be reasonable to apply the principle. But only after that process, not before.
