Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled character with a distinctive hairstyle, engaging in a conversation with a coworker. The coworker remarks that he cannot distinguish between good ideas and bad ones, prompting Dilbert to respond that there are smart people on both sides of every idea. Dilbert then poses a rhetorical question, asking what rational process one would use to determine who is right. He humorously concludes by labeling people who disagree with him as "idiots" and calling it a day.

Key Points:
