You are completely accurate in that "they" don't think it's the same when it's about them....whatever "it" is in the discussion.

I literally had a discussion once with a former coworker who was ranting about how he and his second (and much younger!) wife were completely against abortion. I reminded him that I was aware that the daughter of the much younger second wife had (indeed) just HAD an abortion. I knew this because the much younger second wife had recently confided that to me because she knew I was prochoice.

His response? (You guessed it!!!) "Oh, that was different."

I responded that I didn't think it was different than anyone else, and walked away from him, having lost ALL respect that I might ever have had for the man.

They are so arrogant that they just don't get it.
