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.

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

Be careful whom you accuse of arrogance!

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

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

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.
