Blue, I humbly suggest that humility isn't the issue. The issue is putting your ideas out together with the evidence to support them and the willingness to approach issues with intellectual honesty. That means allowing the evidence to stand on its own and admitting when you are wrong. Anybody who pretends to scholarship and doesn't follow this approach is a charlatan. Scholarship never ever relies on blatant assertion as proof. And because of the intellectual rough and tumble you will seldom find scholars with fragile egos.

If you follow my posts on finance you will discover that I lay my methods out in detail. That way if someone quibbles with what I did he will know why and the methodology itself is open to scrutiny. It was Burke's failure to engage in that kind of intellectual honesty that lead me to my poor opinion of him. It was not the fact that we disagreed.

Here is an example of the laying out of methods:
