The assumptions you made in saying so were
-assuming your judgements are correct is an act of arrogance
-only a deity or someone themselves can judge themselves

Notice the 'assuming'. I didn't 'assume' my judgements were correct, simply because, hey I'm myself, but because of logic, which when used properly, is inherently correct. You don't have to apply the 'anything is arrogance' argument, to anything. When people judge others, they don't use cold logic like 'that person just picked some food up, indicating possibly that he is going to eat' and then afterwards, 'that person just ate food, I was correct.' The basis for judging others is, as so you said, you do it automatically without logic. It's necessary for survival to judge someone (like their fighting skills back in cavemen days) and now this has grown to the point where people take it as fact. To cut a long story short - fact is not your instincts, nor is it the murky feelings you get when you see someone with shaved hair 'he's a tough guy'. Since it is not fact, it is wrong. Since it is wrong, it is an incorrect judgement and you shouldn't apply it in real life.
