Absolutely. An excellent point.

We'll have a look at that.

Personally, I mark all my shows as "explicit" because I'm going with the
meaning from the OED: "Stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for
confusion or doubt". Obviously they are not "clean" because I say "Um" a
lot and tend to breathe into the microphone. I certainly strive to be
explicit in all I say, but that's just me. ;-)
