Obviously, yes. He used that example, showing the wear points on a tool bit. He did not follow up with pictures of a lack of bugs on the rounded front edges of aircraft.
People are constantly mis-applying familiar forms and concepts. From the 30s through the 60s, car styling imitated aircraft, which is one reason why streamlining, which produced lift with such shapes, was slow to catch on. Next, Corvette had a hit with Supersonic type leading edges. Now we even have an electric Stealth pickup truck. Usually, flat panels get corrugated, but those are done some heavier way.
