What is an adjective for genuinely thinking oneself as skillful or knowing a lot about a particular subject...

What is an adjective for genuinely thinking oneself as skillful or knowing a lot about a particular subject but is actually inexperienced?



Example:




Jack thought knew a lot in this area, but he actually didn't. Jack was ____.




This is different from the question What is a word or phrase for someone who professes to know something but actually doesn't? : This question is asking about a deliberately false claim, but I am asking about a genuine claim.



EDIT: I'm not looking for a slang. I updated the example. I am looking for a formal word.



It has some meaning overlapped with "overconfident," but it is more specific in "a certain subject/area."

    What real-world con­text and reg­is­ter do you hope to use this for? This mat­ters a great deal: for­mal­ity, coarse­ness, in-group iden­ti­fi­ca­tion, etc. That blank in “You are just ________.” lends it­self equally well to ad­jec­tives and nouns alike, even to mul­ti­word phrases. Your ex­am­ple sug­gests you’re look­ing for some­thing to use in ca­sual con­ver­sa­tion, ɴᴏᴛ some­thing to be used in writ­ing—is that so? Would you be ok with “new” and trendy busi­ness-speak jar­gon or even an in­for­mal slang ex­pres­sion, and thus some­thing not ev­ery­one would rec­og­nize?

    Such a person who has so much of self conceit can be called




    • An egoist/ egotist,


    • A braggart or


    • A conceited person.



    These words refer to someone boastful, vainglorious and having an overwhelming but ill founded opinion of oneself.

    • Where did all this ill-founded boast­ful­ness come from? How can you tell that the asker is talk­ing about some­one who is ac­tu­ally con­ceited and boast­ful of their knowl­edge, rather than some­one who is sim­ply naive and un­in­formed by prac­tice? How do you know that the asker seeks a pe­jo­ra­tive term here, par­tic­u­larly given that the asker spec­i­fied that the per­son they’re re­fer­ring to ac­tu­ally does pos­sess gen­uine knowl­edge?

              Per­haps we had best wait for the asker to tell us more about his sit­u­a­tion to help all of us zero in on what he really wants. It is a lit­tle con­fus­ing, as least for me as cur­rently writ­ten.

            Such a person who has so much of self conceit can be called




            • An egoist/ egotist,


            • A braggart or


            • A conceited person.



            These words refer to someone boastful, vainglorious and having an overwhelming but ill founded opinion of oneself.

            • Where did all this ill-founded boast­ful­ness come from? How can you tell that the asker is talk­ing about some­one who is ac­tu­ally con­ceited and boast­ful of their knowl­edge, rather than some­one who is sim­ply naive and un­in­formed by prac­tice? How do you know that the asker seeks a pe­jo­ra­tive term here, par­tic­u­larly given that the asker spec­i­fied that the per­son they’re re­fer­ring to ac­tu­ally does pos­sess gen­uine knowl­edge? The asker said that this is a true claim not a false one!
