Fred,
I have over 20 years experience asking "senseless" questions of engineers. That was part of my job as a "Corporate Consulting Engineer". On review boards and funding boards I did this to determine which projects should be cancelled or funded. On job interviews I did this to determine which people to hire. When mentoring people, I did this to get people to think. (I believe this is called "Socratic Method".) There were several of us who worked the same way. In addition to using the answers to ascertain competences, we used the process to evaluate personality, as in "easy to work with" and "difficult to work with". So people were binned into four boxes:
competent, easy to work with
competent, difficult to work with
incompetent, easy to work with
incompetent, difficult to work with.
