Kinda irked me because it gives the non-flying public the impression that
ATC/GA/Another pilot had put them at risk, when this was not the case.

Why
lie? Just tell the passengers whats happening and get on with it.


It's a careful balancing act. Some people watch the progress of the flight
out the window, and have some familiarity. But not many. Most people
haven't got a clue what makes an airplane tick, and if you tell them
somethings not absolutely 100% normal, they'll get upset. You could wind up
causing more problems than you already have. Generally speaking, if you're
dealing with an abnormal, glossing over it is acceptable -- it really is no
big deal. If you have a bona fide emergency, you play straight and right up
front.
