No, no one thinks it's just for death row, only that executions are final and there's no undoing them, and so the expectations among the general public are that

No, no one thinks it's just for death row, only that executions are final and there's no undoing them, and so the expectations among the general public are that we're much more careful in those cases. We can release a falsely jailed person and even pay restitution or the time lost, but we can't do the same for an executed person so the stakes are higher and one would expect a lower false positive rate as a result.
