I was taken aback by the insult, too. Not sure what to make of it. On the surface, it says "Bjarni is less competent that he believes himself to be." (Or *more* competent, if one follows D-K to its usual conclusion, but context negates that interpretation.) What on earth is a comment like this doing on the list?
