I don't suppose you feel like engaging with my suggestion with something more than this blunt, unsupported rejection?
If you merely mean that when discussing such a piece we can remain generally calm and give room in the discussion for things other than the author's arrogance, then I agree.

Those of us who are mere mortals can't reliably predict ourselves to achieve perfection on complex, subjective tasks like this.
You find your own self-confidence to be highly convincing to the point of mathematical proof. Please have another think about that. And about making "clever" four-word dismissals of other people's comments.

I was able to separate the two as well without much of a problem, so...I guess I must be some sort of god too. :)
