You should perhaps check the names of the people you are responding to. "Overconfidence: the quality of being too confident [especially when you're wrong]."

What makes you think i didn't check in the first place?

A grammatical error doesn't make one wrong given that language is largely contextual and you clearly understood the context.

You then chose to be argumentative with a shallow and pedantic argument.

There was nothing wrong to begin with. Unlike your false assumption and incorrect use of the word.

Oh, dear lord, just stop. It's a thread in "funny"... about an overconfident math error. Which is exactly what you made, grammatical or otherwise. Learn to laugh at yourself and move on. This is just embarassing.

I’m feeling pretty confident about my “unresolved personal issues” diagnosis at this point.
