J- Wow, that was great!
Me - Thanks.
J- And fiddle is such a hard instrument!
Freeze the scene.
In my paranoia about not being arrogant, I stop and wonder "what should I say?"
"- Yeah, you're right it is a hard instrument." (therefore I am good, therefore this is an arrogant remark)
or
"- Actually, playing fiddle's not that hard." (even more arrogant!)
My arrogance becomes thus unfalsifiable.
