He might have believed he himself is totally apart from any errors. When we review his attitude towards his co-workers when they present dissenting opinions(aka, "rebellion"), I would say his "inner composition of an Asian man" has popped up. Unlike western people who are accustomed to dissenting opinions and reasonable compromise by discussions, WL seem not to have had those kind of experience.
Walter Martin was one who comes to mind, but that was not long lasting.
