It's like the fear of making things worse while trying to repair something.
Could the person who notices the crack think that they will start a chain reaction that holds them responsible for solving it? You know, they might prefer to step away from it with a feeling like, "Once I start fixing this, they won't get off my back again; it'll always be me dealing with it."
