Clearly so. What with judging distances, ascents / descents and the heightened concentration required to avoid being a nuisance (assuming you're under the speed of the main traffic flow), along with what you say about careful judgement of "the pack", I would say it takes a lot more.

Why would he surrender his entitlement when doing it better than the majority? It may be a case of what he said being somewhat overwhelming to you yourself, not to him; he's clearly well on top of it, but such a description of traffic condition analysis to an uninitiated speed freak could well seem a bit intimidating.
