Not necessarily. Padding segments can add a significant amount of miles as well. Consider this:
EWR-LAX (nonstop): 2454
EWR-IAD-SFO-LAX: 3919
Thats about 40% more miles. I always requal on miles, but I rely heavily on improving my cpm via creative routing. I expect a lot of runners do.
Now as for the guy flying ORD-IND buying a hotel room and flying back in the morning - Unless he is getting really cheap stays in IND that he needs to requalify for his hotel program, I think he needs some sort of intervention.
