There are probably many different things packed in one word "arrogance". It more or less means "dismissing the opinion of someone whom I consider important", without explaining why exactly does the speaker consider that source important. That could be a good reason, or a bad reason.
In the interpersonal cases, yes. More generally, it's not giving someone's opinion it's "due", where what's due can range from complete deference to pro forma acknowledgment.
In the correspondence to reality sense, it's dismissing some facts or evidence in favor of your theory.
