Well, for things like computers, I always find how is easier than why, I can figure out how to use a program quite easily, but I wouldn't be able to read the source code, learning computer languages is hard work for me, but that doesn't stop me trying

Electronics, strangely enough, is another matter, I know about electron flow and magnetic fields in a 'behaviour' kind of way, but if someone gave me a field strength, a resistance, a current etc and asked me to figure out the ampage required for it, I wouldn't have a clue, I know why, but I don't know how.

It all depends on how you visualise things I suppose.

Kazaan isn't Vulcan. He somehow manages to be too pompous.

[Kazan]

confidence is not pompousness

[Knight Templar]

And more arrogant.

[Kazan]

Arrogance is being confident you can do things which you cannot.

Be careful whom you accuse of arrogance!

yo mama!

[Knight Templar]

You take it like it's a bad thing, Kazzy.

No it isn't.

arrogance

n : overbearing pride evidenced by a superior manner toward inferiors [syn: haughtiness, lordliness

[Kazan]

01010: I was being more precise.  So say someone is arrogant, merely because they have great confidence that they have earned the right to have is pathetic

Now now children

[diamondgeezer]

Forget the Kazan University Dictionary's definition of arrogance - I think 'full of himself' is more appropriate

[aldo_14]

The difference between arrogance and self-confidence is measured in how much of a twat the person is.

What part of my thinly veiled attempt to get people to move on did you not understand?

No matter, end of topic. Congratulations.
