If a person falsely claims to be superior to another, it is indicative of pride (undue in this case), and can be an example of arrogance.
See how the truth value of the claim can modify the applicability of the label?

Yes, it could, but in your case, it was obviously arrogance. Just because something is true (and we'll
assume yours was just for this point) does not necessarily mean it can't be arrogance. In your case, I think that the arrogance was fairly obvious.

Can you provide a universal method or is it just a matter of 'whatever falco thinks is right'?

Neither, Most people can tell which is which. There are certain things that measure whether it is or isn't, which I do not wish to get into.

How is that better? And do you never act on provisional assumptions/beliefs?

It's better because there is no risk of false belief. I'm not saying I never do, I'm saying that it's the best method not to.

Private? You state it in every other agument! Plus you HAVE said in private AIM sessions that it is (I was arguing whther not responding to a whole post was the same as that which you called bad arguing; ignoring certain points)

Yeah. And it's utterly irrelevant. If you use 'of' to contrast a 'your', you are implicitly using it to speak of possession. Otherwise it doesn't make sense.[/QUOTE]I suppose this matter isn't important, and i can see that your stubborness blinds you from the truth here. Even when you are wrong, you defend it with "No, it isn't" until death, i swear.....
