No, it's not obvious to me that you telling me to hold short of the runway
is because an aircraft is on final.

Then you are blind because the aircraft is right there on final. As
opposed to being on base behind you where you can't see, then I have to
tell you why. Or maybe there is an aircraft landing opposite direction.


It could be that, it could be a hold by
the departure controller, or it could be a hold for flow control.

Then you would have to be told because it isn't obvious.
