      No individual really has any way to discern the two, from their own perspective. Except in retrospect, anyway. One can only guess, based on an assessment of one’s own general intelligence and linguistic facility. Which obviously is not something you, an internet stranger, have any access to.

        It’s actually pretty simple, if you’re superior to everyone else you’re living in a delusion created to couch your own inferiority complex.

            And it just so happens to confirm how much smarter you are.

              If I’m saying that people are disappointing then it means they’re less than my expectation and thus not confirming anything.

              In contrast, you confirm the expectations I have developed of you in particular with each successive reply.
