My best guess is pride in two different ways. First it leads to arrogance, which is when someone boldly claims that they are correct and the other person is an idiot. Second, that person will try to protect their pride by working to remain ignorant of the fact that said "idiot" is actually correct. People spend a lot of energy protecting their ego and pride by doing things that don't make sense.
