James pretty much invented Sabermetric arrogance (or in James' case maybe frustration). If you've read some of his work, hes very confident in his findings (like anyone else who has been historically significant).
I can remember James making the argument that Biggio was a much better player than Griffey and he was pretty definitive about it. Something along the lines of "Biggio is a better player than Griffey, and I don't care that people don't know what they're talking about."
Hes like that about a lot of player in his books.
What seperates James from many analysts in my mind is that hes willing to learn anytime he makes a mistake or is proven wrong. Even with the Biggio vs Griffey argument, he has been more open to the idea that he might have been wrong recently (partly due to the fact that Biggio couldn't hit good pitching at all).
