Probably not, if used right. For example, pause prevention in circumstances such as:
* Being close enough to
The Sculpture that a sound cue would also be triggered upon seeing it (Basically, same criteria as what triggers sound cues when it's near to you either by you approaching it, or it getting close to you when you blink or look away)
* If
The Old Man has started chasing (As indicated by "Bump in the Night" playing in the background)
* If
The Shy Guy is in a non-idle state (Raging or already enraged)
* Can't think of something yet on The Plague Doctor to make it fair (Maybe if you just got hit by a -2 instance?).
* Same with Nine-Tailed Fox (Maybe if spotted and being chased?).
Every other SCP is either inanimate or not a direct threat. Furthermore, the above circumstances listed are instances where the player is already aware of the threat, so it couldn't really be "abused" in a way.
