I was thinking the same and almost made a more poorly worded response, but then thought better of doing so after re-reading the paragraph. The sentence is written by Cruise, is in a passive tense (which tends to be used when people are seeking to deflect blame), and "may cause" is weasel-wording when the event showed that it "did cause", as is "not the desired" which is substituting for something along the lines of "a harmful"
