I found out that your reaction mainly rise among intellectuals, which are not the majority.

Also it's only triggered with certain kind of display of confidence (like aggressive confidence, or confidence mixed with poor vocabulary/skill, etc). E.G: the confidence of a humble but strong expert does not trigger the reaction.

That very much implies it's not hardwired, though, just that it requires unlearning.

I think it's more that you have an additional layer canceling the initial reaction.
