Let's stick to what I asked (note that my sentence wasn't even a statement). If one can't even imagine some reason why some one other person might dislike a node one wrote, then conceit certainly is something to consider, IMHO.
I never said nor even implied that wanting to know "why" required conceit. I mostly didn't directly discuss "wanting to know why" nor "asking why", as those topics are a bit complex and even more subtle and have been covered ad nauseum elsewhere and rehashing them as part of this thread is something I think worth mostly avoiding (and rehashing them without first reviewing prior art even better to avoid). So I will continue to mostly avoid it.
Had I seen eric256's comment, I probably would have skipped my reply. But I didn't like the treatment that I did see Argel receiving.
