Caledonian - very good point indeed.
Robin; 'is the boss a typical hated figure?' Is that a sarcastic comment? Have you ever had a boss? The low-level people unite around shared distaste for their bosses, who unite in a similar distaste for the guys higher up, and so on. This is the normal social dynamic of the workplace, surely?
Eliezer, can't wait to use that retort upon not laughing at someone's rubbish joke:
"Why didn't you laugh?" "Too high-entropy, complicated without the unexpected coherence that would make the surprise."
