That is a fine point to make, but I think arrogance is not the right word for the virtue you’re describing. Arrogance is how other people might describe a person trying to uphold this virtue, and it’s also how a part of you might describe another part of you trying to uphold this virtue, and that’s the thing I’m claiming is about status.

It is common for a word to have more than one meaning.
