What it is, is ATC expects everyone to be able to navigate direct, one way
or another.
I don't expect everyone to be able to navigate direct, but I do expect
everyone to be able to navigate what they file. It isn't unusual for
someone to file direct to a distant point, accept their clearance "as filed"
and an instruction to proceed "on course" or "direct" to that distant point,
and then to request vectors to it after departure.
