You don't think people ever confuse the two? I believe they do, but
that's my perception. I also think people confuse other things with
arrogance, though maybe that's just me too. I recall a guy in high
school telling me a girl was arrogant because she wouldn't respond to
his passes. I told him maybe she's not interested in him, but he
insisted she was arrogant and stuck up. (He wasn't exactly a friend
and my comments back to him certainly weren't going to make him one.:)

I would only know that secondhand, but I'll take your word for it.
