I don't think it's arrogant at all. I'm actually specifically remembering a bit of LJ drama when I commented from the educated-layman's position about a legal issue on someone's blog, and Alex and his g/f came to mock and ridicule rather than trying to point out what the problem with my position was. In contrast, I spend about half my time trying to come up with good analogies that almost anyone can follow to explain what it is that I do.

Basically what I'm saying is be more John Armstrong and less Alex Gianturco.
