Wait, what goalpost?
I wasn't making an argument initially, I was making an observation: "He's curt, maybe justifyingly so, but still...".
Then I further expanded upon that, based on the comment I got, that "that's how it is, if you're good at something you often get to dictate how you treat people who want it".
Wasn't meaning it to be an argument (to be met with counter arguments, to move goalposts, etc), just plain observation of how it is, as I see it, in both cases.
