Intellectual hubris is an error in judgement of over-rating your own judgement.

Intellectual humility is to err on the side of under-rating your own judgement.

Both are errors by definition. You should strive to have an ACCURATE understanding of your own intellectual capacity. Anything else is an ego problem.

Shatner knows the truth of this, and punishes accordingly.
