The cause of my overconfidence was a combination of exaggeration, arrogance and thinking I had a proof to the effect. As I said above, I had read that the problem was easy and so when I found a 'proof' I assumed it to be correct.
It was, as you point out, a huge error. I will aim never to repeat it.

If extreme overconfidence counts as insanity then yes I will.
