Can't have too much love. I saw no arrogance and prefer the Greek word hubris. Hubris inflates what we think we know, in this case about the other side of a conversation. It does the same to what we think we know about the value of an asset we invest in.

Knowledge is asymmetrical. It's very rare to know more than you need to know for a forecast. It's very common to know less. Options traders' second nature is to ask first what's unknown that can lose money and to hedge and size positions accordingly. Your first comment was an unhedged trade. Losing trades are the best teachers if they don't knock you out of the game. Fortunately the pain was only non-financial.
