To whom?
Are you suggesting that you possess more information than the person who's in the cockpit with all the displays and dials and readouts and other instrumentation and is trained to read and interpret them and how all the systems on the aircraft interact?
the captain implied that it was a comfort issue. I'm not positive on this but I think he even used the word comfort.
Assuming your memory is correct, and you didn't just lead you to read into his words something that wasn't there just to make you feel justified, it's still possible that he said that just to avoid a panic. It may have been something that was
merely a comfort issue on the ground, but had the potential to turn into something worse in-flight.
