Maybe that’s because I’m french but I don’t understand this one.
It’s about the “arguments” people offer to new ideas they don’t understand: they repeat the staus quo over and over again, as if the reason I think differently (about copyright, for example, or the Ramayana, or feminism, environmental issues, etc.) is because I couldn’t have possibly ever heard the dominant paradigm. An example is this comment on yesterday’s cartoon. Those with outlying ideas tend to be extremely familiar with the status quo; have examined, analyzed, studied, thought through, and eventually rejected whatever aspect of the status quo they’ve replaced with “new” ideas that frighten others. But the frightened keep arguing back with the status quo.
Another common example of this is fundamentalist christians arguing with atheists, as if the atheists have never heard of the bible, or church, or god, or jesus. They’ve heard it; they’re steeped in it. They’ve rejected it anyway. Shocking.
Hmm… Mimi & Eunice seem to be embodiments of this theory:

Off topic I’m thinking there should be a public domain symbol like there is a copyright symbol. Anyone every looked into this or tried it?
