I would say no. Despite it being somewhat logical, I think it is unreasonable to believe that people are rational agents and won't act emotionally in a state of emergency.
So don't get upset that people aren't following your directions.

I don't think passengers realize this. No sane airline would ever mention it in a passenger briefing. Can you imagine? "P.S. If we crash, get off right away or you'll be burned alive." Never gonna happen. But it's the truth, and it's why getting the f* off the plane as fast as humanly possible after a crash will save your life—and the lives of all the people who can't get off until you do because they're stuck behind you.
That's the other thing I don't think people realize. Grabbing your bag may take you two seconds, big whoop. But what if two seconds is the difference between life and death for the person thirty people behind you in line out the door? You just killed that person.
