  Such habits of attention are compatible with, but do not require ignorance. This view allows Bommarito (2013, 113) to highlight cases where uttering the sentence “I am modest” does not seem self-undermining as when others are publicly discussing one’s modesty and only an admission will allow the conversation to move on to other topics. He later discusses modesty as an “inner virtue” that can be involuntary and lack any outward behavioral expression; see Bommarito (2018, 160–169).
