Competence vs. Arrogance

Sometimes competence gets mistaken for arrogance. If you have a novice and an expert discussing a subject, they are both liable to perceive the other as arrogant. They will perceive each other as pretending to know more about the subject than they actually do. They will think the other could not possibly know was much as he claims. In fact, their knowledge of the subject may be equally broad, where it differs is in the depth.
