Fallacy of the biased sample.
Everybody knows that Rob, Buddy and Sally were good friends whether at the office or away, and were never mean to each other.
The comedy writers' meanness is always reserved for the nepotic son-in-law producer.
Are you trying to say none of that is true?

This is one of your better observations. They're all good, but this really rings true, and not just in the Writer's Room.

Worse than you say, Rob, because it's all family in the same business. It's not like one's a policeman, one's an engineer, and one's a writer. They're all writers. That gives it an extra level of competitive edge.
