Then again, people with the above (reversed) errors in judgement are funny. The effects on your actual compitence is probably worse...

Yeah, but they're probably a lot happier!
Both sets of distortions - the negative ones and these positive ones - are disconnected from reality, which is why they are a problem. Though I can't say I've ever met someone who suffered on a regular basis from the positive distortions. If I did, they'd probably seem pathologically egomaniacal, whereas the negative distortions seem to be so widespread that I think they're built in to the human design (the "spaceship brain" ART mentioned).
