[Star Wars] What made Admiral Ozzel think he could get away with condescending to Darth Vader?

"My lord, there are so many uncharted 		settlements..."

Ozzel sounds straight up *patronizing* to Vader when he says this, as if Vader were some foppish visiting dignitary, and not the Emperor's personal cybernetic murder gargoyle. How could he possibly thought it was a good idea to talk down to Vader?

The Empire works on strength.  You get ahead by showing no fear and intimidating people (also getting shit done which was Ozzel's mistake).  Being frank and questioning superiors has worked so far and gotten him in the Admiralty.  Ozzel has seen guys like Tarkin or Thrawn directly challenge Vader and get away with it so he figures if he wants a Grand Admiralship he should do the same and prove himself not afraid of Vader.  The thing is Guys like Tarkin and Thrawn have earned Vader's respect so he lets them talk to him as an equal.  Ozzel being disrespectful just pisses Vader off.  Ozzel is trying to play the game and sucks at it because he didn't realise the guys that are winning the game aren't playing a game they are just hyper competent.
