It would never happen on any ship I was on. Even the 5/E would have said, "Hold on here chaps something isn't quite right with the piston cooling". Tickets not required for that one.
I agree that many crews could be terrorised into maintaining charter speed with less than candid reporting but it's easier explaining why you went off-hire for a few hours than facing Flag, Class and H&M Surveyors for an interview without coffee. Having the death of two colleagues on your conscience would be very difficult to live with.
As with Agony Columns and Horoscopes in newspapers where the last out of the office has to make up tomorrows copy so, I believe, similar happens even in Learn'd Publications.
