I found a question in the Ubuntu_20.04_LTS_STIG 1.5.2 that reads,

The Ubuntu operating system must automatically remove or disable emergency accounts after 72 hours...

What is an emergency account? Is it different from booting in rescue mode?

The answer is in the Description field of the same rule (Finding V-238331, Rule SV-238331r654168_rule):

Description
Emergency accounts are different from infrequently used accounts (i.e., local logon accounts used by the organization's System Administrator s when network or normal logon/access is not available). Infrequently used accounts are not subject to automatic termination dates Emergency accounts are accounts created in response to crisis situations, usually for use by maintenance personnel. [...]

They are completely different.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
