You're right, they're not equal. But sounding arrogant -- on purpose -- is still kind of a dickly thing to do. It's I'm-making-up-for-a-small-penis behavior, and the world needs less of it.
1- the world needs more people who write like arrogant assholes (even if they're not actually assholes)
2- it's better to be pompous than to actually have a conversation
Because that's what you're up-voting. In case it's not clear.
