I don't agree with that.  Stoned/drunk people always think they're 
doing GREAT, and frequently...aren't.  Ditto on the many attention 
whores filling stages across the world.  On the flip side of the coin 
you get someone like Allan Holdsworth who never thinks he plays that 
well but the audience loves it.
