I don't think there is any basis for confidence.
Implicit in the phrase "Unsubstantiated Confidence." is the feeling that "you must have a basis for yourself" and "you who have no basis for yourself must not be confident."

Even causality is iffy, much less confidence.
Isn't it funny that you think you need evidence? I mean.
The connection was made after the fact.

Probability of success is likely to be high with respect to tasks that are affected by human evaluation
(I thought that the probability of a bug is the same even if you write a program with full confidence, so I limited it to "evaluation by humans.)
I guess we shouldn't look too much at attitude when evaluating people./villagepump/inajob.icon
I'm getting dragged along, though.
Are we supposed to say that we should just look at the portfolio and make a decision?
If the goal is to look at culture fit or something, you need to look at attitude. Is there anything to be gained by acting unsure?/villagepump/基素.icon
Moderate confidence?/villagepump/inajob.icon
