Joe,

Dilbert once ran a strip sub-titled "Young Dilbert" where, as a boy with a
skateboard under his arm, he asks his mother for permission to go skateboarding
at a construction site with his friends.

She asks, "If everyone jumped off a cliff, would you do that to?"

Dilbert responds, "Well, that depends on a lot of factors, including height,
training, and equipment.  But if 100% of the participants said they enjoyed it
-- as in my skateboarding example -- then I would conclude that it was safe."

He continues, "A better question might have been:  'If everyone else wore
clothes, would you do that too?' "

In the last frame he is seen walking off with his skateboard in hand, thinking
"She loses more credibility every day..."
