[quote=Blogstar] As someone trained in a scientific field of inquiry, I have always been taught to view humility and self-critique as the highest values, and smug arrogance as the opposite.[/quote]
You may have been taught, but you clearly didn’t learn.
Humility involves taking a look at yourself and admitting your weaknesses and mistakes. When your weaknesses and mistakes are pointed out to you, you make attacks – and not even attacks that have substance, but rather ones that you made up – and then run away.
I see a lot of hypocrisy, but I don’t see any humility nor self critique.
