This seems to act as an incentive for both resolving the conflict, and for obscuring its presence or nature. I feel that the latter effect can be more damaging, so it might be safer to avoid this pressure. For example, drawing of attention to the presence of an apparent conflict (if it’s plausible that it has been missed) that isn’t accompanied by (implied) disapproval.

My original comment was about as devoid of implications of disapproval as I could make it. I’d be interested to hear better formulations.
