They seem to be more interested in knowing the reason for the go-around, asking the pilots in an accusatorially voice no less than four times adding to a high workload situation... Maybe they should do their job and give them a heading instead of badgering.
Dear god, save us from the armchair ATCOs who pass judgement against us, lead us away from the path of enlightenment where surely we will find out the reason for the missed approach and deliver us from the temptation to call out the RFFS in case a problem really exists.

Also culture comes into it as well with some cultures not wanting to tell anyone when they have a serious problem if not forced to.
I think you've mixed up the word 'cultures' with the word 'professions'. It still amazes me that people in the aviation industry think that it's acceptable for the smartie tube drivers to hold back 'when they have a serious problem'. Who do they think calls out Fireman Sam, the tooth fairy!?
