Person who was right a few times, despite others naysaying, assumes they're right on new things, especially as they get older...

That's certainly not a thing that's ever happened before. /s

A combination of ego (luck had no part in my previous success) and over reliance on a limited historical sample (last time everyone said I was wrong too, and I was right).

But even the smartest people still get it wrong on occasion.
