The whole premise of this meme is a bit silly. If there was a corpse floating near the beach, I think most people might wait for the corpse to be removed, and perhaps even a reasonable cause of death to be determined, before entering the local area. The same is true for pools.

"Smithens, the corpse is growing near me again. Use the pool-skimmer to push it into the deep end"

Ah, so corpse count AND proximity are both factors? Along with knowledge of the presence of said corpse?

And corpse size and species. The variables are piling up... This is gonna be a difficult study

This can be simplified to the individual's understanding of how quickly they could be touching a corpse.

Corpse size still plays a role. You wouldn't want to touch a dead tadpole, but you may not even notice.
