I think there's a bit more to it than that.

..... although I do agree with most of what you wrote. If you take away his 2 sons and his (ex) wife, he's got nothing. Sure he's an arrogant, selfish prick but w/o those 3 people, all his saracasm and snobbery hurts no one but himself. Even though he fancies himself as an intellectual, he is unable to recognize that brain power is not all that important when it comes to connecting with people, and ultimately being happy. One thing I really liked about the film is that it doesn't make it clear that he does (or doesn't) come to grips with this fact by the film's end. I think the eldest son does, but Bernard? I don't know. Certainly Bernard is not an admirable man, and its very likely that he inflicted some psycholigical wounds on his sons, but I think that the kids' mother contributed a few as well.
