Edited to replace original incorrect Herzog attribution with my own version that correctly attributes the quote

There is nothing in the quote to justify your "angle". If you are taking those cues from someplace else, well, that's on you
Fair enough. Within the greater reader-response criticsm umbrella, I'm using Quijano's colonialidad del poder to problematize the quote as a form of whitewashing of history even though the quote is well-intended. From there, it reads a bit arrrogant from that stance. But, it looks like it was a misquote anyway. Hopefully, you understand that I'm not reading the quote the way most people are. Instead, I looked at it from a unique perspective. Best wishes to you.
"I did my best to justify my reason for finding this arrogant, it required using 20 year old, Spanish-language reference material and is so esoteric I'm forced to call it unique"
You are my kind of pedant, brother!
That's presumptuous to think that "I did my best..." simply because I like thinking about things diffeny than most. I didn't explain it well enough, but later clarified my point for you. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings about a misquoted text. Take care.
"I did my most mediocre interpretation" isn't as funny.
