What's the difference between confidence and meglomania? I don't think it's so much a difference in the degree of confidence, but a difference in the perception of what a capable individual can accomplish. If a person is very smart, then they are confident if they believes the same thing. But to be meglomaniacal, doesn't need to believe they are inhumanly smart, they just need to believe that a very smart person is capable of fixing everything with a single thought. They need to believe that perfection really is possible.
In a sense, to be meglomaniacal, a person must be dumb to the reality of life, to the wisdom that mistakes happen, even to the best of us.
