I figured it out. I don't have a problem with authority, I have a problem with pretending that people who know less than me know more than me. I have no problem following somebody's leadership if they are legitimately more skilled. Nor do I have a problem following leadership if they have leadership skills and charisma, but understand my skill set. But when people legitimately lack skills that I have, and try to use their authority to get me to do something that I could do better without their "help", I get a bit belligerent.
