If I were the reporter my next question would be:
"Do you feel that not knowing the most basic things about your product reflects on your competence as CTO?"
Hilarious, but if the reporter asked this they would find it harder to get invites to events. Which is a problem for journalists. Unless your very well regarded for your journalism, you can't push powerful people without risking your career.
That, and the reporter is there to get information, not mess with and judge people. Asking that sort of question is really just an attack. We can leave it to commentators and ourselves for judge people.
this is limp dick energy. If asking questions is an attack then you're probably a piece of shit doing bad things.
no it isn't. what answer to that question has any value to me as a reader?
Think about the answer you would actually get. They would dismiss the question or give some sort of nonsense answer. It's a rhetorical question, and the only thing that it serves to do is criticize the person being asked. That's not what reporters are there to do. If the answer would actually give some useful information to the reader, then it's worth asking.
