lol the arrogance of your phrasing is weird. Just stick with the compliment, and then maybe: I think we could improve thermodynamics, not "I'm almost tempted", which sounds like "I'm a god, and could really outdo this but I'm not sure I have time since I'm SO important and busy".

Doesn't really come across as arrogance to me, just interest in the project.
