That is *also* not arrogance. Just the act of believing or knowing
that one is good at what one does is not arrogance. It is certain ways
of treating others because of such a belief that makes it arrogance.
Of course, at its bottom, arrogance is profound insecurity and
self-doubt, but that doesn't make the arrogant people we have all
known any less hard to take.
