Had to look that up in the Merriam-Webster... "to speak or express opinions in a pompous or dogmatic way." Ouch!
My humble opinion: Anyone who has been able to support themselves by building bicycle frames and has done it for a significant number of years is a God. There are a _number_ of frame builders that qualify as a God.
