Just because someone is rich it doesn't mean they are smart. Generations upon generations of the smartest people the world has ever seen died as farmers in obscurity. We only get to know about the people with the money and power who were written about. They're powerful, not smart.

THAT SAID: Be gentle with any federal workers you know who have to call it "Gulf of America" in their official communications, they really have no choice in the matter and they almost certainly know how ridiculous it is. It's not their fault their boss is a thundering chudwomble.
