They think they know that they're right rather than looking for someone to tell them they're wrong.

Always go into an argument with convictions but open-minded.

I don't mean why they consider themselves intellectuals and anyone who disagrees with them being ignorant. I understand that. I mean why the general public holds these ideas.

All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.
