Isn't it obvious Scott is expressing serious disgust about what our society has become, where products are in reality designed and built by only a handful of people (engineers, inventors and the few workers left in the field and on the factories), whereas the majority (who obviously can't understand the first thing about the product) is employed simply to yap about it and push it around?
I'm surprised I haven't seen a strip attacking the biggest leaches of all, LAWYERS!
