Did I interpet something wrong, but isn't "confidence" here something like "inverse herd mentality"? As in, while herd mentality[1] is "Herd mentality, or mob mentality, describes how people are influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors, follow trends, and/or purchase items.", here "confidence" is exact opposite of that, right? This is very interesting though, because for example in some subreddits score of a comment (or submission) isn't shown right away, but after a defined delay. This is to combat herd mentality, so that people do not vote something just because others have voted it so-and-so. Instead, it sort of forces individuals to make up their own opinion and vote based on it, thus it sort of forces individuals to be "confident". It doesn't let them delegate the opinion forming to the herd. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_mentality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_mentality
