This video highlights two separate problems: unacceptable behavior, and ignorance. One should never sneer at one's coworkers, or openly mock them or undermine them. Doesn't matter if it's an engineer or a janitor, in my view. No-one should put up with being treated like that, ever, and I think you'd be better off just quitting, on the spot.
The matter of the project ignorance is itself is another matter. When faced with well-meaning but confused stake-holders, the correct solution is not to throw errors like a compiler (which is what the eng in the video does), but rather to probe for more information to understand the context of the request, and work toward a workable solution. Ignoring line ink and geometry, step back and ask: where will these lines be drawn? Who will see them? What information are they trying to convey? Of course, these are the same questions that would ruin the conceit of the sketch, but that's the solution to this riddle.
