Being suspected of doing something bad just due to proximity, not because of verifiable evidence. It's a heuristic that can have bad consequences!
For instance, one time in primary school I was falsely suspected of doing something bad
(I remember it was something physical) and asked twice whether I had
involvement with the problem, just because I was near a “bully”, even
though I was just observing the situation. Fortunately, I avoided the
scary thought of a false punishment.
And such things also happen in Epstein Files. Just having the name
mentioned leads to trouble, even when it’s just an observer or witness,
which is morally and legally neutral.
