You're going to have to get used to it. Most Americans haven't got the first clue about what forces are involved in keeping an airplane flying, NOR DO THEY GIVE A DAMN! As long as they get their sodas and peanuts and the fare's low, that's all they care about.
You, me, and the rest of those here care. We can explain why it's dangerous to get into a steep turn at a low airspeed if someone is interested, but most people aren't. Try to do that and they'll get that glazed over look. So that's why you've got O'Brian simplifying things to the point of absurdity.
