The key thing is the pronoun. Nobody thinks of himself as a narcissistic contrarian. They rather think of themselves as a deep and original thinker.
Actually I suspect there are a few more self-aware ones who just have a grand old time dazzling people.

Norman Mailer (and I was trying to think of someone probably living or more recently deceased who's more Norman Mailer than Norman Mailer -- any clues?)
Camille Paglia
Nicholas Nassim Taleb
