Not buying it.
A "blackhole" full of random emails to and from miscellaneous team members is not a great place to send an email that you think Ben might want to scan.
Realistically, for Ben to even see the email, he'd had to dig through tons of random crap in the hopes that there might be a subject line that catches his eye. There wouldn't even be an indication that someone thought that particular one might be up his alley (CC: Ben).. it's just a giant pool of random subjects to wade through. So that's even more noise for him to wade through.
Realistically, Ben isn't even going to do that. And the sender is going to realize that too and still CC Ben, so that he gets a chance to scan it.
