Nice topic.
Is there a straightforward way to do 2 so that you recommend others attempt it, or are you relating something you've experienced and found reduced your confidence in general?
Perhaps 2 is a special case of "find something that you can generate a feeling of high confidence but where you will subsequently be wrong with high probability". You might interpret this as "experience being a crank".
