If you still think that it is always correct to follow instructions coming across a PA system from someone who appears to be in a position of authority, please read it a third time.
If you still think that everyone should always obey the voice on the PA, then I don't think you and I can have a very useful conversation here.
My point was that I have great respect for cockpit and cabin crew, and I listen to instructions as a pax. Very rarely, there are genuine situations where pax will question the authority. We don't need to agree, no offense taken.
