Dilbert becomes too pleased with himself

Scott Adams has long been wonderful at skewering foolish management behaviour in the tech world by way of his Dilbert cartoons.

The eternal danger in these situations is that you begin to believe you have something worth saying beyond that domain (and actually, even in that domain he had a free pass to caricaturize, as someone who has played both sides of that gap can say).

In any case, in my view, he has made a bad error by engaging that terrier P Z Myers. I invite you to go to examine the current forensics. This is sad - for me it has undermined my naive belief that Adams' cartoons arose from a fundamental intelligence about the world around him.
