It is not straight. A straight path has two ends and no junctions. Your
T has three ends and a junction. You cannot terminate both ends of your
chain, because the term "both ends" has no meaning.

Because it's a T. If it were a straight path electrically (or
topologically to be more accurate) it would be within spec.
