I mean yeah, he's asking stupid questions to the internet.
He doesn't ask his engineers, who've got better things to do than to answer his questions.
He likely thought "Oh, that route planning looks odd. Since I'm sure the engineers know what they're doing, this must be the ideal path, but I certainly am curious as to why that is. Hey X, why don't the planes fly in straight lines?"
It's a perfectly legitimate question to ask for someone who's job isn't engineering, but hiring people who hire people who's job is engineering.
Engineers are generally happy to answer their manager's / funder's questions bc that means that they care about the details and can make more informed decisions. Also, the manager learns who they can call for in case of an emergency where they need something explained.
I agree. I only added that to not argue with the parent comment about their point that CEOs should "not waste the time of those who work by asking stupid questions".
