Turbulence is nothing to be afraid of. The weatherman can’t even really tell if it’s gonna rain. Should the pilot be expected to know if a random quarter mile of the atmosphere is going to be a bit silly? It’s just air that isn’t like the air around it for whatever reason, be it temperature, humidity, etc. It has nothing to do with the condition or safety of the plane.
