  3.  @MrAndrew535  Not necessarily. And in the event that the comment about using real names applies to me then please understand this was created as a child and I simply don't care to change it as it is unnecessary for YouTube. Now let's acknowledge that no worldview is truly consistent with reality as it'll be inevitably poisoned by the perception created by ones upbringing and even in the face of figures and statistics the way they're done can be manipulated as to not know the true nature of it so even worldviews based on the facts can be distorted. It also depends on the evidence provided and even when proven beyond a reasonable doubt that information the individual knew is false, as emotional creatures humans will still reject them. This is all a point to say that due to humans being emotional creatures influenced by upbringing and genetics above all else, their self perception will be based more around that than any statistics that could be shown to present a picture of the world as it is. Then your tangent about laziness shown by the access to information is also a misconception as people only look up necessary and or desired information. If it's unnecessary and there's no desire to then there's no reason to find that. You attributed that as proof and that people only have incorrect self perceptions due to their own laziness to verify (correct me if I'm wrong) but as I've espoused no amount of self reflection can overcome genetics and upbringing so every view will be distorted. The reason I mentioned confidence is because substantiated or not confident (oftentimes arrogant) people will overestimate themselves and same for underestimation in those who are self deprecating or not confident. Those are the internal factors which are largely based on the individual's environment and genetics which contribute to the level of confidence which will ignore external factors which can be unreliable anyway due to no matter what, our social circles largely agreeing with ideas we have or all agree with the individual in question disagreeing. In summation: no matter what no-one will have that. Say the person you posited did exist then that's the only person who could possibly have a true assessment of themselves.
