I mentioned this phenomenon a couple months ago in a comment ranting against Elon Musk stans and nerd culture in general, since it engenders an entirely unwarranted and uncritical self-righteousness where moral correctness (the source of most self-righteousness) has been substituted for "logical correctness", regardless of any actual logical processes.
Nerds think they're automatically right because culture told them they're smart, basically, and this completely blinds them to their faults.
I found this out firsthand, long ago, when interacting with other "logical" people.
And, of course, when I openly admitted my faults, I was dogpiled on, because it wasn't about a dynamic process for them. It was about a fixed identity.
