Agreed. I can't help noticing that they all seem to display the same smug attitude. It borders on self-righteous in some cases. They often seem to fancy themselves as keepers of the one truth. Knights of the realm of objectivism, if you will. They have counterparts in the subjectivist realm as well. Neither seem able to deal with the fact that reality is not always fully defined by complete knowledge, nor complete mysticism. Present reality is usually somewhere along a path between the two, progressing over time. Knights seem comfortable only at one far end of the journey for knowledge or the other. The usually somewhere in-between aspect seems to make them very uncomfortable. Perhaps, displaying smug attitudes helps them to cope.
