Scott Adams write his blog from the perspective of a person in a position of power and influence. Notice that in his anecdote he is the person paying for dinner. Also, he is the person persuading the subjugated to accept their horrible fate ... for an admittedly "ridiculous" reason. Accepting a free dinner is easy to do. Accepting a lifetime of domination from an oppressor is "not the same thing". I wonder if Scott Adams would be so willing to accept a ridiculous justification if he was the one being tormented every day of his life.
