SCOTT ADAMS dilbert.com I HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH YOU, DILBERT.

ACTUALLY, YOU DON'T DISAGREE WITH ME.

NO. YOU THINK YOU DISAGREE WITH ME, BUT YOU'RE MISTAKEN.

DON'T?

YOU'RE SIMPLY EXPERIENCING AN ILLUSION CAUSED BY THE LIMITS OF YOUR COMPREHENSION.

IF YOU WERE ABLE TO FULLY COMPREHEND BOTH THE PROBLEM AND MY RECOMMENDED SOLUTION, YOU WOULD AGREE WITH ME.

SO WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION IS JUST YOU WRESTLING WITH YOUR OWN DEFECTIVE BRAIN.

THERE'S NO REASON TO GET THE REST OF US INVOLVED IN THAT MESS.

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THAT CLARITY MAKES PEOPLE ANGRY?
