Parabellum
Please will you provide hard evidence to support the wild assertion that you assume to be true and from which you build your subsequent 'logical' point?
I say again, any person who is not a member of the operating crew is a passenger.
How they will react in an emergency is unpredictable. They have not been part of a crew briefing and they may work for an airline with different SOPS - I would even go far as to suggest that non crew members (whoever they are) 'assisting' without crew instructions might, under some circumstances, make matters even worse.
When I was in an emergency where 57 died (not aviation related), I and other members of the public helped others and the evacuation was orderly.
However, on another day, there may have been blind panic.
You cannot make your assertion with any degree of confidence.
