- kevingadd 5y agoThe word "harm" means many things. Just google "consumer harm", for example, and the top result is a government agency using the word harm to describe non-physical injury: https://www.fdic.gov/resources/supervision-and-examinations/consumer-compliance-examination-manual/documents/2/ii-2-1.pdf https://www.fdic.gov/resources/supervision-and-examinations/...
