This deals with the "is the passenger aware of risk" issue,
but that's not the only issue around.

Says you. Says I, "it's the only reasonable justification for
commercial flight regulation".

Another justification is that when a pilot is "holding out" or is receiving
compensation, history shows that such a pilot is more likely to fly in more
inclement weather. Under those circumstances, it seems reasonable to hold
the airplane to a higher maintenance standard and to hold the pilot to a
higher standard ratings and experience.
