FWIW, "open it" is not necessarily possible (if the aircraft is pressurised) nor necessarily sensible (engines running). I'm sure I can make that judgement. And I reckon I could influence others as well - even if I'm not by the door, I reckon an assertive shout of EVACUATE EVACUATE EVACUATE would get things moving.
So why worry so much?
