>>Americans have a greater tendency to be overconfident of their abiltiies IMHO.<<

Perhaps - but as an ex-Brit I can say that it is better to be semi-competent and obliviously optimistic (like many Americans) than semi-competent and passively cynical (like many Brits). While obliviously optimistic semi-competence can lead to a kind of clueless free-for-all (otherwise known as a cl*****f**k), at least in this scenario the truly competent get to move the ball forward.
