Can't Trust United (regarding posted cause of flight delay)

I'm sitting here at the gate at IAD waiting for 1299 to depart. There's a mechanical problem in the cargo bay. With the cabin door opened, the passengers are turning on their phones and getting status updates from United. We're all being told that our departure is delayed owing to en route weather. We all know better.

Mendacity or carelessness, it's still inexcusable and further evidence that trust in this airline is misplaced.
