Cunningham's Law states "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."
He is getting information using Cunningham's law. Asking is not as good at getting information as telling a lie and having her correct it.
Since he is in a time loop it doesn't matter if it makes her mad at him in that time loop. He just needs the information for future time loops.

Ah, that's a very good point and something I hadn't considered. What you've said actually does make sense within the scene - throw out enough wrong answers and eventually she'll correct him.
Many thanks for the input, I will try to keep this in mind on my next re-watch!
