OK, my poor 2˘: To me, the point of questioning authority is twofold - 1) To keep those in authority thinking. Ideally everyone does things the best they can, but when they have to think about why they're doing them, maybe their best is better? A weak point, but a point nonetheless. 2) If one doesn't question authority, how then does one learn to be authoritative?
