If you can't analyze your wisdom then it's not worth discussing, facts and data are objective - I don't perceive the the things you mentioned as smart but pretentious.

Sure -- it's just a pity neither you or me or anyone will ever come in contact with them. Everything we think/write/read is based on assumptions/axioms. You don't even have to "dig" to realize that, you just have to scratch the surface.
