Possibly you're subconsciously masking your arrogance by using pseudo-psychology on people?
An extraordinary assumption given the paucity of evidence to hand.

Not an assumption, a conjecture in response to your asinine comment.

Chas, making such an assumption could be considered a form of unconscious masking in itself.

I have made no assumption. You seem to have a reading comprehension problem.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
