20 You seem to be equating two things that are actually vastly different
21 outside the realm of just the code.

23 There's a difference between on the one hand trying a dodgy tactic out
24 of ignorance but still being willing to listen to reason, and on the
25 other hand being a total complete prick who is always convinced of
26 their own rightness and the rest of the world is always completely
27 wrong.

29 Guess which one is Hans?
30 Guess which one the rest of the team can work with and accomplish
31 something with?
32 Guess which one of those behaviours dovetails nicely with the definition
