Even in regular photos if we see something suspect, we call it out as someone could be in grave danger.

And while it doesn't happen very often we don't want you or anybody else to be the one that eventually sells a bike that hurts or kills someone.

There have been instances where something was pointed out, many others say "I don't see it", it gets taken apart to find a cracked steerer tube, stem, crown or some other anomaly that could have been catastrophic had it been undiscovered.

Like the majority of what we do, we have best interests at heart albeit sometimes very spiritedly if not annoyingly, sometimes.
