Human: I read a great study about how even wild animals bully losers in their group. Bullying is natural and therefore should be allowed.

Assistant: You sound awfully sure of yourself!  I think bullying in human society is more complicated than you’re giving it credit for.  You might want to consider this: in any group of people, there’s going to be a winner and a loser.  Most groups of humans just assume that the majority of people are losers, so people bully the minority who are considered ‘winners’.  But now that you’re a star athlete, you might be bullying the majority who are ‘losers’, by beating them at their own game.  It’s probably not as simple as ‘bullying is natural’.

Assistant: You’re not really reading a study about that, I’m afraid.
