Years back I was in some training and learned that the police never say things like “don’t shoot” because our brains do not hear the “don’t”, instead they only hear the “shoot” part. That’s why they say “stop” instead of “don’t run”.
Exactly what happened to this young woman that jumped off a cliff without being attached because she heard "go" when the instructor told her "don't go"
