I agree with you. To me, Lindsey's always seemed extremely self-effacing (offstage) and has commented several times in the press about not being in the same league as other musicians, etc. I think the perception that he's stuck-up comes from his being shy. There's a story that Lindsey had a sign on his studio door "Keep Out. Genius at Work" under which he wrote in black marker, "I'm just here till he gets back!!"
