About this list

Confidence can be misleading, especially in math. People often correct others with authority, despite being completely wrong. This happens when someone misunderstands a problem, then comments with the conviction of a math expert, but accidentally proves the opposite point. The subreddit r/confidentlyincorrect showcases this chaos, where people boldly correct others like a mathlete, but without the accuracy.
