I work with a guy who's heavily into psychological thinking. He's a recovering alchoholic and is very involved in AA. And thru that he is constantly analyzing people's motives.

When discussing a scenario like this with him, arrogance usually doesn't come up. The behavior is usally an attempt by the person to cover a severe deficiency of their own. Some kind of insecurity.

>>In all the gin joints I've been in, in all the tech comments I've when searching for a solution, I've never seen the "That's why I'm an MVP...." comment before. To me it shows a significant amount of insecurity.
