They know the "real" reasons and may be quick to answer. If asked.

You must be lucky to find staff who know the real reason for a delay. I’ve been fortunate and haven’t had many serious delays/cancellations which led to claims but in some outstations agency staff haven’t a clue why a flight is delayed.
