Have you ever heard the phrase 'fake it til you make it?'
Confidence can absolutely be faked convincingly. In fact, I would estimate that even subject matter experts are faking it a minimum of 15% of the time.*
Poorly sold confidence is easily detectable, but then that's not really confidence at all, now is it?
* based on personal experience. Bullshitometer reading: high
