"Puffed-up overweening"
Puffed-up: feeling self-important
overweening: presumptuously conceited
I see one as the internal state that gives rise to the external action. That's my rationale for the usage. I'm not saying it is a valid rationale, but I did want to hammer home the point, so to speak. It is certainly true one could read this as being redundant so it is something to consider.
Thanks again for the comments,

The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
