The electrofishing for whales question? I think it's just a loaded topic.

It's hard to avoid prefacing a question like that as a matter of scientific interest, without including a disclaimer that thinking about harming whales is kind of terrible.

Electrocuting whales is something a super villain might try, so you kind of have to play into that aspect of the premise. Figure it's an otherwise regrettable question he didn't want to just shy away from.
