Asserting the truth is not arrogant, refusing to is false humility.
"What is truth?’ Good question, Pontius! Well, for one, I talk about truth because that is what honest men talk about. What good is served in talking lies? To believe that truth is true is not due to daring, but due to humility: the honest man does not think he gets a veto over reality. A humble man says you don’t vote on laws of nature, you cannot create reality, and you did not father yourself out of nothing."
John C Wright, Transhuman and Subhuman.
