This is what I took away:

Agreed, I've noticed this type of signaling often in the hospitality industry. I'd compare it to a DSL with which a leader can communicate unobtrusively with those they lead. In certain cases it takes more time and effort to communicate information or instructions verbally, and it's more noticeable.

It's likely everyone you interview knows nothing about it, so it isolates logic and reasoning skills from previous knowledge. The accuracy isn't important.
