Conceit is a human foible, and is often an attribute of experts.
But at least as often an attribute of commentators:
"The missed distinction between supernova families doesn’t mean there’s no dark energy,
the enigmatic force that’s expediting the cosmic expansion (SN: 11/30/13, p. 8). There
just might be a little less of it. Milne’s team can’t say for certain how much less until
they examine more supernovas."

Thinking of conceit, we now have contrary evidence that reverses the 1997 WMAP study of
an accelerating universe, expansion-wise, we now have some evidence of a fast reversal
(heat death) instead, and the WMAP researchers won Nobel prizes in physics. Also, dudes
like Krauss and company (conceited) tended to gripe at anyone opposing this (WMAP 1997)
yet we have new research. All it probably means is that we need better equipment to do
measures. More measuring, and less conceit please.
