Yep.  You're an old fogey.  As am I.

It's probably the reason we aren't rich, actually.  We have too high an
opinion of the intelligence of our fellow man.  We won't jive 'em or swive
'em, and that keeps us from making the Big Bucks.  Maybe it will also keep
us out of jail....

Wasn't it H.L.Mencken, that incurable optimist, who said "No man ever went
broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public?"

I just wish Dilbert were fiction.
