Some protocols are sensitive to mere collisions. Also, this suggests actual preimage attacks could be found later. Not today, but still. Finally an accurate explanation is longer and has less punch.
It's safer to "join the headless chicken" route, consider SHA-1 officially broken, and start thinking of alternatives.
