I know this is quoting a classic text, but "Hubris" bugs me here; it seems like the virtue being describe here is pride or ego, not hubris.

Hubris implies excessive pride and ambition; pride that is oversized when compared to your ability. It has a negative connotation.

I've always been amused by the concept of "excessive hubris"
