Ok I'm not sure that arrogant is the correct word, a tall poppy maybe, I try to be up-to-date and aware and pass on what I see, I admit I have been awake/aware as a person since very young, I used to have conversations with adults when I was very young back in England at three years old, my mother told me, my comprehension was very good at a young age, hardly a fault.
It may seem like arrogance but it's just my life truth, I think of myself as humble but well informed, sorry if that's not what you experience.
My girlfriend who is a New Zealander and is well over 60 said to me, when I told her that I had put on the Internet that story about fixing the Ferret and Angus Tait and all the rest, that I would be taken as arrogant but I said to her that it was the truth and I didn't do it to show off I just did it because it was within my capabilities and I only used my eyes not my brain to fix it whereas the Engineers pulled out the books and approached the problem in the wrong way, I was very experienced at fixing things with no info and no parts, but she still said NZers will take you as arrogant nevertheless.
I guess she was correct. Sorry.
Still glad heisenberg is gone though, arrogant or not. Who did he think he was? I am just an ordinary person, well read with some skills honed over the years by experience and bitter failures at repairing things at times. I tried to be friendly with him, I asked what music he liked, he never replied.
Over and out.

It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
