Sure, as one raised by an ER doctor, I have had a very up-close-and-personal view of many doctors being arrogant.

I can't see any of the ones I've known not stepping aside on discovering they're spontaneously, unpredictably losing the memory of how to do surgical procedures.

I wouldn't go so far as to day no doctor would ever keep going on the face of that happening, but I will say to do that would be utterly inhumane.

I think one of the issues with LLMs, is that they don't "believe" that they are in error. Humans do that regularly; even non-arrogant ones.
