Arrogance is probably to be found in the way things are said rather than the content. By not using a real example, you've invented the tone of the argument.
It's not supposed to be an example of arrogance, through tone or otherwise. It's a broad paraphrasing of the purpose and intent of SIAI to illustrate the scope, difficulty and nebulousness of same.
OK, sure. But now I'm confused about why you said it. Aren't we specifically talking about arrogance?
EY made a (quite reasonable) observation that the perceived arrogance of SIAI may be a result of trying to tackle a problem disproportionately large for the organisation's social status. My point was that the problem (FAI) is so large, that no-one can realistically claim to have enough social status to try and tackle it.
