I downvoted at-first, but I just explained this to my son yesterday. Over 90% of us are sheep, and over half of that are just sheep who are concerned primarilly with the social-status and evident power/autority of anyone who tries to give them directions, no matter how correct or absurdly-wrong the directions. They actively despise the notion of thinking for themselves.
EDIT: To be clear, I myself prefer to take direction if the situation is complex-enough. I infinitely-moreso prefer to follow directions I can ascertain/understand on-my-own to be correct - but its not the whole 90% that disgusts me, and I try-not-to dolize those who are too head-strong to follow directions.
