Yes I am deadly serious. This was taught to me by a very experienced senior Captain. Flying is a team effort and you both need to be on the same page. If one pilot can detect a problem approaching - for example you as PF are touching the end stops on the side-stick while flying a turbulent approach, then it makes very good sense to tell PM you might need to go-around, and get them primed so they are ready. Why wouldn't you ? Talk to me Goose.

If the other pilot is a few hundred hour newbie, it makes even more sense, otherwise you might be doing an OPI (one pilot inoperative), go-around, and potentially forgetting the gear and the speed brake in the process.
