This is a good analysis, going to the core of the issue.but: >> all you can do is push it underground (as in, "I'm so important that I don't even need to play" or "I disdain all who play, and am therefore superior to the rabble who do"), which doesn't solve anything. It's possible to teach people humility. And it's not pushing it underground - It's a good social skill to have if you want to collaborate with other people.
