I got stuck on a chestnut.

It's a hoary old one this one, so someone must have figured out the answer by now. You have a boss, i.e., someone you obey. They tell you to do something that you think is silly. Do you a) do it because they're your boss, or b) not do it because it's silly. If b), then what does it mean to obey someone if you only do what they tell you when you agree with them? If a), then doesn't that mean you have no principles?
