Yeah, I can see that -- though in the first instance, I'd say it's more that I hadn't actually stopped and thought about it enough.
With memetic stuff like this, that's always the way. Once we do manage to actually think about it consciously, it's usually pretty easy to clear it out.
And yeah, that's exactly it on the second part. It's much healthier to think of ourselves as good (even if others call it arrogance) than to think that everyone else sucks at whatever.
