Nothing worth having comes easy and it's obvious you know that. On being branded as pompous a-holes, I think that feelings get hurt when blatant evidence is shown by either you or I that is contrary to what the owner of those feelings wants to believe. The evidence acts like a Ronco inside-the-egg egg scrambler in the brainial region of the feeling-holder causing dissonance.
I would have said "cognitive" dissonance, but there's not a lot of cognition happening around here.
