I agree that intellectual honesty is the sine qua non of being a real intellectual, and of real scholarship. I suggest that being intellectually honest is not necessarily inconsistent with being arrogant, nor is arrogance such an unpleasant characteristic to me, it being one of my own, you see. My point, pure and simple, is that I have never met an academic who wasn't convinced that he/she was right about his/her "pet theories." Which isn't inconsistent with being willing to change his/her mind if proven, indisputably, to be wrong, by irrefutable evidence/argument.
