One way to test out your theory would be to pretend that someone else wrote the essay. If the essay no longer makes sense, or if it still comes across as self-congratulatory, I would agree with you. However if you perform this thought experiment I think you'll find that neither is true, so I think you're just reacting to identity of the author and not his actual point.
