No. Think of electric lighting. Now, rewind a couple hundred years. What does electric lighting look like then? Ooh, aah. And today? It's a given. It's not something particularly remarkable. We've got computers and stuff.
It's not a matter of non-arrogance; it's a matter of seeing no need to focus on it, because there's nothing remarkable--nothing to remark on. You are you. Uh, surprise? Humility is a reasonable word for it, but it's too old a term to come without baggage, so I don't use it.
