[FRIAM] narcissism

[Frank Wimberly]

If he weren't narcissistic he would defer to the experts which would
mitigate his incompetence.  The BS about being sarcastic is a pathetic way
to rationalize his failure to defer.

Since narcissism is universal adding "malignant" or "pathological" makes a
useful distinction.
