Just consider it as part of the primate hierarchical dominance games
we all have the instincts to play.
Acting as though you are higher up in the hierarchy is one way of
moving up or maintaining position in the hierarchy. :)
Pointing out other's mistakes is another. :)
Refusing to admit you have made a mistake is a way to help prevent
moving down in the hierarchy. :)
We geeks aren't different from normal folks much at all when you look
at things that way; same instincts, just different hierarchies and
different tactics. :)
See, even though I am talking about the whole thing at a higher level,
I am really doing the same thing myself. Accruing more points for
cleverness for myself while subtly mocking others for following
the same instincts I am. Alpha geek title, here I come!
