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.
