It’s one of the most annoying movie/TV tropes. “Don’t do this. Bad things will happen!” No explanation of what or why because there’s no time or “you wouldn’t understand.” So, of course, they do it. And, so would I.
Immediately kills suspension of disbelief.

Telling people not to do something with no compelling explanation will surely increase the odds of people doing that thing. Honestly, the better strategy would be to say nothing.

I can’t think of an example where knowledge of a threat lowers one’s chance of survival.
