That's silly, they know they are unsure that's why they are asking the question - but as it is important to get the right answer, they simply want to double check the person they have asked has said what they think is right.

People have a tendency to do the same things. For they're no different than cells or much any other organism that works in a unit. A heart cell by itself will not beat, but when touching other heart cells, beats in unison. Thus people have a natural tendency to feel as though what you feel is what they should be feeling, and if those two aren't aligned something isn't right. Such being the reason why panic spreads and yawns are contagious, not to mention why crowds such as church congregations always seem to judge their bodily behaviors upon the consensus of the crowd. Now if someone isn't responding either they're an alpha of the group, meaning the one leading the actions, or the creator of the pulse so to speak, then either that is the case or, that they may usually be lead to believe that there is something wrong with the incompliant one mentally, simply due to the fact that it's so innate and natural to do, almost like a principle of the universe. They may believe that they cannot comprehend the actual occurances of what is happening around them. This may be done out of fear of the group as a whole, for everyone gets their feeling of self worth as a whole from the people around them, truly, unless they themselvse truly are the Alpha person. The pulse. The self sufficient factor that is immune to all other forms of criticism and idea around it besides itself, which leads the rest of the group to whatever end. Innately, most all strive for that place. Mainly males. It seems to be hardwired into their brains for that. All in all, you'll live up to what your true place is. If you're through and through sure that you know what you're doing, there isn't a person, place, thing, or idea that could sway that judgement from you. But if you aren't, when the proper situation comes along, you'll be as unsure as you learned fitting for such situations.

When they ask me if I'm sure. I just say "hey, I thought I made a mistake once but I was wrong" :)

Are you sure they're the one's that aren't sure, or are they sure that your answer is incorrect and they're politely asking you, "are you sure", because they know you shouldn't be.
