Detection signals
- Inaction framed as neutral despite non-trivial risk.
- Action risk highlighted while inaction risk minimized.
- Responsibility asymmetry between doing and not doing.
Omission bias
Harm caused by inaction is judged as less severe than similar harm caused by action.
The narrative treats inaction as morally safer by default, even when expected impact is comparable to or worse than active alternatives.
Caution notes
- In some contexts, non-intervention is evidence-based.
- Flag only when asymmetry lacks analytic support.
