I find this exchange surprising.

It's happened to me that I heard something played by myself, thinking that
it was played by someone else. I was much more generous when I thought it
*wasn't* me.

I explained this to myself by saying that I could understand how someone
else had different ideas, but couldn't understand how *I* could have wanted
what I heard.
