I dont agree with Paul but completely fail to see how a personal preference (which it clearly was) is "arrogant".
It wasn’t. But remember, "arrogant" is one of those debased words (like "elitist" or "patronising") which is trotted out when somebody feels
(a)
out-argued and/or
(b)
out-written, and therefore
(c)
out-faced.
In a world where anyone’s opinion is supposedly as good as anyone else’s, people don’t like to feel
(c)
, and so all that’s left them is quick and dirty denigration of their adversary’s intelligence.
I realise that this is an elitist, patronising, and of course arrogant statement to make, but it is none the less true.
[Personally, I would like to see all three words banned from the language for 20 years, to free them up once again for meaningful service.]
