I kind of agree with you in a way: saying Poland will overtake Germany is as laughable as saying Canada will overtake the US as the economic leader in north America. You don't even need to be Canadian to know how ridiculous of a claim this is.

In my reading, the point of 'as a Pole' is to say 'look I bear no ill will towards Poles, I want the best for Poland as much as the next citizen', it's not claiming authority, it's disclaiming bias against.
