The dude's shit doesn't stink. In his view.

Isn't that true for most people? I mean "from their own view". We all tend to assume that we're right more often than not, no?

That is not what that phrase means.

It means someone thinks they're _better_ than everyone else. It's a lack of humility. It's arrogance.

It's the aristocracy looking down on its citizens. It's the software developer looking down on the men who pick up their garbage.

It is not simply about thinking you're right most of the time.
