I understand your point, but, again, I think this is an essay with a narrow purpose intended for a very specific audience. It's not advice about how to think about oneself or how to respond to criticism. If someone reads this essay and takes away from it "I need to be more arrogant and self-confident in all instances", then that's their own problem.
