What, the plane couldn't stay airborne and cool him off at the same time?
It comes down to utilizing your resources because our resources, like any organization, are limited. Therefore, we need to focus on those activities that are most inline with our founding and still relevant mission.

Your analogy is flawed. A better analogy would be watering your garden. Lets say that you are watering your flowers which need fertilizer, plant food, and the like. Since your garden is surrounded by grass, inevitably, some of your grass will get the benefits of this care. However, your focus is on your azaleas and daisies, etc because they need specialized care unlike grass that does just fine with rainwater and little else. While you don't intend to neglect your grass, it does not need as much care as flowers, it is hardier and there is an abundance of grass everywhere. Even though you have to step on your grass to get to the flowers, it is not because you like your grass any less.
