Dilbert creating reality? (Score 1)

Well, A) Why are people spending money on studies that have outcomes which should be obvious based on common human action? People are afraid of their bosses, and therefor, don't communicate with them. B) In my office, as soon as people started putting up Dilbert strips, the boss became more and more "pointy-haired". People often react to a situation in the way that they feel they should. Proliferation of Dilbert strips led us employees to believe the bosses didn't know anything, and that we should assume they are idiots, and therefor we shut them out of the loop, until soon they DIDN'T know anything. Self fulfilling prophecy. And it's oh-so-funny!
