There are at least two types of arrogance. One is rooted in a belief in one’s own moral superiority. The other is rooted in an inability to recognize ambiguity as a fact of the world rather than as a failure of the intellect.

If I had to guess, I’d say George W. Bush’s arrogance is of the second kind while his administration’s arrogance generally is of the first kind.
