But I don't get it. You asked for examples and XiXiDu gave some. You can judge whether they were good or bad examples of arrogance. Asking whether the examples qualify under another, different criterion seems a bit defensive.
Also, several of the examples were of the form "I was tempted to say X" or "I thought Y to myself", so where does truth or falsity come into it?
Okay, let me try again...
XiXiDu, those are good examples of why people think SI is arrogant. Out of curiosity, do you think the statements you quote are actually false?
I wonder how many of the people who think SI is arrogant and are bothered by it would consider themselves guessers and how many people who note how SI could be perceived as arrogant but aren't bothered by it would consider themselves askers.
