That is, they were often wrong, but never in doubt.”this happens with non-cyber things as well... all the time. Point being: "cyber-attack" follows down the path of 'send the people that deal with "attacks" to deal with this'.
And for those people, being highly confident is typically viewed as a positive feature. Regards Marshall
